What happens when two bands with strange names come together to create an awesome neo-folk 7″? The end result is the split between FATHER MURPHY and HOW MUCH WOOD WOULD A WOODCHUCK CHUCK IF A WOODCHUCK COULD CHUCK WOOD? out now via AVANT! Records. The FATHER MURPHY song “Jesus” is a haunting, slow-dripping tune that swirls your inner demons into a hypnotic state. The receptive female vocals have an occult chant-like quality that sounds like storm clouds floating above our heads as the spirits of the past glide around us. The sparse musical arrangement is powerful; the organ and the thunderous sound effects give “Jesus” an almost apocalyptic vibe about it. The one instrument in this song that sets the tone for all of the ghostly melody that surrounds it is the drums that seem to be in time with my heartbeat!
HOW MUCH WOOD WOULD A WOODCHUCK CHUCK IF A WOODCHUCK COULD CHUCK WOOD?’s song “Humpty Dumpty” is a somber tune, full of melody that suspends your thoughts in a sea of blackness. The guitar work on this song is fucking pure magic and it is as solid as granite. This band’s vocals are straight mesmerizing, the singer’s deep baritone voice is rad and captivating all at the same time. This song is awash in reverb, which creates an aura of fog rolling over the hills as the sun is about to rise. It’s the emotion you will hear in this tune that will make it one song that you will not be able to get out of your head! There is one problem with this split – not enough music! I have to keep hitting repeat…I want more!
