The Murlocs - Space Cadet

 

The Murlocs are impressive for a number of reasons. The main being that they’re one of only a few lo-fi/ garage bands that don’t bore me to death. I don’t know if it has something to do with growing up in near Geelong and having limited things to complain about, or the good influence of having The Dingoes frontman as your frontman’s old man. If ramshackle ‘jangly’ garage tunes constitutes something OTHER than writing whingey songs about day jobs, I think these guys are great advocates. ‘Space Cadet’ is the newest single from the five piece, taken from their forthcoming record. It’s another simmering slingshot of rhythm and blues with Ambrose Kenny-Smith’s respiratory snarl at the helm. Plus, this track is about space zombies…ROCK ‘N’ ROLLA.

Ambrose says that ‘Space Cadet’ was “one of the only songs saved from the original recordings we did with Stu (McKenzie) at Cook’s mum’s house in Colac. We had it sent to Mikey Young to mix. Sadly not long after, the rest were gone with his laptop that was stolen so we’ve since been re-recording the rest…”
There’s a clip that’ll be rolling out from Zonk Vision in the next few weeks too. The video was filmed by Jaso Galea on the egde of Lake Corangamite near Colac. We’ve been told that the finished deal looks like ‘Black Sabbath with computers in the 70s’. Looking forward to that.
Murlocs tour announcement happening soon, we’ll keep you posted.
