The 4th full length LP from The Murlocs.
The Murlocs are lead by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizards‘ Ambrose Kenny-Smith and featuring Gizz’s lead guitar player Cook Craig. The album was recorded at Melbourne’s Newmarket studios, Manic Candid Episode was produced by Stu Mackenzie (King Gizzard) and mixed by NYC musician Jarvis Taveniere (Real Estate, Woods, Parquet Courts).
Formed in late 2010 by harp player Ambrose Kenny-Smith, the five members of The Murlocs play their own blown-out, distorted brand of soulful RnB. They have already played numerous Australian music festivals as well as supporting Gary Clarke Jr., Mac Demarco, Ty Segall, Thee Oh Sees, The Pixies, and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. Their up-tempo snare cracks and noisy guitars, accompanied by Ambrose’s warm vocals have been described as a mesmerizing, demented dance party.
