Album Review: The Murlocs - Young Blindness

The Murlocs are one of umpteen psych drawlers to crawl out of King Gizzard & The Wizard Lizard's multi-limbed drawers, and Young Blindness doesn't fall far from the tree. 

Tracks like Happy Face and Adolescence are flowing '60s free-love pastoral psych pop, with burnt edges — they could be dug out of a time capsule. The title track with its blues-blown harmonica and downward spiral malaise is the aftermath, more indebted to the '70s acid-fried hangover. The rest, most notably Wolf Creep and Compensation, nestle somewhere in between. A crystalline, pristine pastiche of 21st century Nuggets-era nuggets.
