Product Details

Melbourne's The Murlocs have been quietly building one of the more compelling catalogs in the Australian underground, carrying forward a raw, soul-inflected energy that feels indebted to the gutbucket end of the rock and roll tradition. Bittersweet Demons finds the band stretching that foundation with piano-driven arrangements that bring a new emotional weight to Ambrose Kenny-Smith's distinctive vocals.

On their fifth album, The Murlocs reflect on those who leave a profound imprint on our lives: the saviors and hellraisers and assorted other mystifying characters. The most personal and boldly confident work yet from the Melbourne-based five-piece (which includes two members of King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard); the album sets their storytelling to eleven infectious tracks written mostly on piano, lending a greater emotional intensity to the band’s restless and radiant brand of garage-rock.
