murmurmur (pronounced mer-mer-mer) was born in February 2017 when Will Fletcher stumbled across the idiosyncratic guitar riff that provides the defining moment in “I Can’t Stop Thinking About All The Time I’ve Taken From You”. Fletcher was soon joined by Alex Crosara (guitar), Fintan Bradley (synthesiser), Jack Davies (bass) and Luke Haaja (drums), who helped to bring his prog/psych-pop odysseys to life.
Across the four songs that comprise murmurmur’s debut self-titled EP (produced by Oscar Dawson of Holy Holy), Fletcher’s haunting, emotive vocal blends with guitar hooks that sink into the recesses of your mind and stay there. There is an urgency to murmurmur’s soundscapes – they sound like a time and place you’re not aware of but which you’re desperate to find.
The Melbourne five-piece who’re bringing all of my psych pop dreams to life with their debut single. Coming ahead of their first EP as produced by the coveted Oscar Dawson, “Cable Car” is the kind of song that grows more kaleidoscopic with every passing minute, with frontman Will Fletcher rising like a star in the making above the cascades of reverb-drenched guitars.
