A scouse lo-fi autobiographical psychedelic odyssey “
Former Wicked Whispers frontman and one of Liverpool’s respected songwriters, Michael Robert Murphy, drops his debut solo album ‘Chaos Magick’ produced by By The Sea (Liam Power) and Michael.
Described by Michael as A“ scouse lo-fi autobiographical psychedelic odyssey “ recorded in Raby Mere, at a remote cottage / farm studio (Blaggers Studios) in the Wirral Merseyside and features some Liverpool legends including Echo and The Bunnymen’s Will Sergeant and The Coral’s Ian Skelly and Paul Molloy. The campaign kickstarts with Michael’s huge comeback single ‘Lift The Curse’ and upcoming singles ‘Prometheus Fountain’
As a taster ‘Lift The Curse’ is the first single, all completely done by Michael, written and recorded entirely in one night on his own, setting the tone for the upcoming album with the digital being releases by our friends over at Blaggers Records The ‘Lift The Curse’ song takes Michael to his psychedelic roots but for the first time using drum samples and some modern sounds. “Obviously I’m a huge fan of Beck, Massive Attack and The Beta Band but wanted to tie in my patented blend of romance and psychedelia with sensibilities into a pop record”. As the upcoming album is autobiographical the song is a huge advocate of hope through love. “One of the darkest chapters of my life was during a time I suffered heartbreak, grief and self hatred where I only wanted to drink and get myself into negative situations. I began to believe I was cursed and didn’t deserve anything good or positive despite being what I thought was being a good person. The night I was out with a friend and met my future
wife and best friend Natasha changed my wife, I fell in love at first site and she very much lifted the curse’
