Father Murphy were an indie folk band from Italy, now while the years have passed by, the transition is complete, they gradually passed from playing a good and essential American indie rock with reminiscences of Violent Femmes to this dark mixture of lo-fi rock and crepuscular psychedelia. Strange kind of blend as you can imagine and you have to consider they have some really chaotic experimental interludes in the middle of the song that bring you down in this spectral Seventies' atmosphere which characterizes the whole productions. What did they do to complete this metamorphosis? They worked so much on the shape of their sound, they add more reverb, more acoustic noises (bells and cowbells for examples), they reduced structures and some riffs to the minimum it took to give the shape to a song and they painted the whole canvas of black melodies. Sometimes it also of the darkest Doors, Sonics and Stooges amputated of their rock element and obscured by a black cloud. I think if I say it has a strange "garage" aura many may think to garage rock, but it's closer to some of these bands when following some bad trip it's not even that far from some nightly Fuzztones ballads. Sure despite the aesthetic is easy to perceive this band is not just a clone of heroes from the past, but sure they follow the ranks of vintage music. Believe me, they were a really good band but I would have never imagined they could take such a direction. A really nice surprise.
