Our Take

The latest offering from Australian psych-rock outfit MURLOCS, "Rapscallion," is a wild and unpredictable ride through the minds of these musical misfits. With elements of surf rock, garage punk, and a healthy dose of weirdness, this album is a confusing yet delightful concoction of sounds that will leave you scratching your head in the best possible way.

Lead vocalist Ambrose Kenny-Smith's enigmatic delivery adds to the overall sense of chaos and confusion, with lyrics that are as nonsensical as they are intriguing. From the infectious grooves of "Bittersweet Demons" to the trippy vibes of "Samsara Maya," each track on "Rapscallion" takes you on a sonic journey unlike anything you've ever experienced.

The production on this album is beautifully messy, with layers of fuzzy guitars, swirling keyboards, and pounding drums creating a cacophony of sound that somehow manages to coalesce into something strangely cohesive. It's as if MURLOCS have taken the chaos of their own minds and channeled it into music that is both challenging and rewarding.

Overall, "Rapscallion" is a mind-bending trip that will leave you wondering what just happened, but also eager to hit play and experience it all over again. MURLOCS may be a bunch of rapscallions, but damn if they don't know how to make some compelling music.
