The Murlocs have released their 5th studio album  Bittersweet Demons today. The band share a collection of songs reflecting on the people who leave a profound imprint on our lives, the saviors and hell-raisers, and assorted other mystifying characters.

With their lineup including two members of King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard (Kenny-Smith and Craig), The Murlocs recorded at Button Pushers Studio in Melbourne with producer Tim Dunn, dreaming up a prismatic sound that pinballs from sunshine-pop to blues-punk to wide-eyed psychedelia. The result is an album both exuberant and heavy-hearted, a dynamic that wholly fulfills Kenny-Smith’s mission of “always aspiring to write songs that have a bit of twisted positivity to them.”
