Martha sings so well on this track, and her hair is growing out nicely. Who plays violin in the band? Very original video, with great effects.

Thanks AZGeo. The violinist is Stuart Gordon, a Bath, England based musician who has recorded and performed with many artists including XTC, Massive Attack, Goldfrapp, Peter Hammill et al. MatM

Hey Stuart, great to hear from you! Your playing on 'Modern Lullaby' remains as spirited as ever...still remember you recording tracks in our bedroom in Bath. We got a killer sound in there! Cheers, Mark & Martha

Just discovered this song & video a couple weeks ago and it's stuck with me. Looking for the lyrics...

Great song, i'd not heard it before(go figure).

Strong as ever, and i love the violin from Stuart as well

This song is ever the pleasure to hear. Then again, several M+M singles beyond "Echo Beach" are always wonderful pleasures to hear. I always smile whenever I'm walking by Gus the Other Barber on Bloor and see the press photo signed by Mark and Martha, or whenever a friend of mine from OCAD mentions they completed a studio with Martha Ladly.

These are small reminders why I love my adopted city, even when I want to strangle it some days. I suppose my user login sort of gives that away.

WOW - what a great song. The video is just brilliant - great work!

Great song, I have the CD. I love this band.
