The Murlocs To Tour New Album This August

With Splendour In The Grass in their sights, Geelong-born R&B/garage outfit The Murlocs have announced a new album, dropped a new single and confirmed a headline tour.

After selling out dates on their national Young Blindness tour the past few months, they’re wasting no time as they prepare for a July release for third LP Old Locomotive, produced by King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard frontman Stu Mackenzie.

"In today’s future of webcam music, conventional bands might often be seen as a dying breed,” vocalist Ambrose Kenny-Smith said.

“Old Locomotive stands against rock’n’roll extinction. From start to finish each song approaches the face of abandonment and the continuous search for a better alternative.”

Listen to first album cut Oblivion below and head to theGuide for all tour dates.

Old Locomotive drops July 28 via Flightless Record.
