About this album

Escape From Domination finds Moon Martin turning polished pop-rock into something wiry and distinctive. Released in 1979, the album folds new wave urgency into smart, hook-driven songwriting, with Martin’s tight arrangements and clipped vocal style giving the record its offbeat character. Coming after his breakthrough work as a songwriter and performer, it shows why he was valued for concise melodies and sharply drawn lyrics rather than bombast. Songs such as Ive Got A Reason, Dreamer and Gun Shy underline the album’s balance of bite and accessibility, making it a strong late-70s snapshot of radio-ready rock with an outsider’s edge.
