Description
With their sophomore effort "From A Spectral View", Murkdees small town, homemade pop combines beautiful harmony with unique instrumentation. Along with DeLaine Bennetts innocent vocals, ever-popular clarinet, and Joseph K Murphys often effect ridden guitar work, a host of guest musicians accompany the band including thebrotherkites Patrick Boutwell. Murkdee also builds on their reputation for odd recording spaces, adding a tractor trailer truck and a cabin deep in the heart of the woods of Epping to an already impressive list. This seemingly inspires an even more personal and dreamy modification to the unmistakable Murkdee sound.
Built on a mutual love of music and deep fascination with sound, Joseph K Murphy and DeLaine Bennetts relationship has captured the love of their community. Coming from the same area that produced The Shaggs, the small, gas station heavy farm town of Epping, New Hampshire is an unlikely source of pride for the two. The two met in elementary school, but it wouldnt be until years later in high school that they gave birth to their hugely intimate tonality.
DeLaines vocal abilities show considerable growth, as heard on tracks like Pillow, an epic song from the view point of a small childs imagination. Her voice compliments co-singer Joseph K. Murphys, while also teaming with a 12 piece chorus on many tracks. Josephs arrangements give a nod to both classical compositional techniques, while breaking down walls of often-untouched territory. Neither counterpoint nor chaos is excluded from the disk.
This can be attributed to his dedication to self and formal musical education. While both DeLaine and he were members of their high school band, Joseph began studying music theory in 7th grade, and giving into to the self-recording bug at the same time. DeLaine is no slouch herself, attending Bostons New England Institute of Art where she is training as an audio engineer.
"From A Spectral View" is an intimate LP challenging musical expectations with more than pleasing results. Murkdee is real people, creating home made pop for the human heart.
