The Murlocs Profile
Another psyched-out, harmonica-drenched jam from Flightless Records, this time from The Murlocs in the form of Loopholes. Staying much closer to a common thread than their King Gizzard stablemates, the album also doesn't have as many inventive flights of fantasy either. Yet it's the nostalgia that echoes through tracks like Lonely Clown and Juke Box, alongside the ghost of '60s swamped-out garage fused with The Black Angels' DNA of the closing title track, that lingers. That, and the ghost of Eric Burdon and his Animals, whose spectral fingerprints are all over the place.
