about

Father Murphy's path ended on December 17th 2018. We're proud to present exactly two years later an essential reissue for the first time on vinyl of the band's first two EPs now collected as 'Origins'.

300 copies, limited edition of 75 pressed on red vinyl.

Known for their furious live shows, something in between a ritual and an artistic performance, they released a series of concept albums based on expressing the sound of Catholic sense of Guilt.
In their early days though they were still diving deep into a psychedelic magma that was to somehow inform their future music.

“Origins” collects their first two EP’s, recorded between 2002 and 2006: “When we were young the world wasn’t in your hands” and “I saw seven horns rising from the Sea, when a rooster sang for the third time”.
There is no better place to start discovering one of Europe's most unique bands. From the circular rhythmic patterns of 'We know who our enemies are', to the industrial lament of 'Stereo' and psychedelic acid folk of 'Butterflies & Bats' this is an incredibly intimate snapshot of an artist paving its own road built on nuance, perseverance and symbolism.

This Italian group are a ‘cult’ band in every sense of the word - THE QUIETUS
They make music that’s fantastically fucked up… - EXCLAIM!
Like punks who secretly learned classical - SAN FRANCISCO WEEKLY

Definitely different from his more recent collaboratively ethereal and leisurely LP's, this is a crepitating, sparsely textured album that sounds like a peregrine mixture of Whitehouse eeriness, Diamanda Galas, and the first Sonic Youth LP if it was played by Jandek. A fascinating LP that is best played at very loud volumes lying on the sofa after a few Fernet Branca's. brantly

Sawtooth distortion and feedback layered with striking, plaintive vocals and flute. Every Man pulls at the heart. Test envelops you in the heavy swell of slowly dispersing matter at the bottom of a distant planet's cold and alien sea. eric F
