Marketplace have released a love song to Gardeners' World host Monty Don
Hartlepool band Marketplace releases indie-pop love song dedicated to TV gardening presenter Monty Don in their latest single.
Hartlepool indie-pop outfit MARKETPLACE have released their latest single 'Ode to Monty', a playful reimagining of the traditional love song format centred around Gardeners' World presenter Monty Don.
The five-piece band's new track follows their debut EP, maintaining their signature blend of indie-pop while channelling the energy of their live performances. The single was produced by Chad Rodgers, known for his work with Benjamin Francis Leftwich and Cape Cub.
"We wanted to write a real earnest love song, which is something we've never really tackled before due to a habit of not really taking ourselves too seriously," vocalist Evie explains. "More often than not, that comes across in lyrics too, tackling subjects with a more tongue in cheek approach. So Ross (drummer) said, 'Can you make it about celebrity gardener Monty Don from Gardeners' World?' so he became the object of my affections for the lyrics of the song."
