Major Murphy announce second album with lead single and title-track "Access"

"Access" is the opening song and title-track from Major Murphy's new album, marking their first release since their 2019 Lafayette EP.

Waxahatchee's Katie Crutchfield describes "Access" as "a conduit for the grand and complex structures Bullard [Jacob, vocals and guitar] builds throughout the album. It’s as much a personal plea for patience and humility as it is a pep talk for setting the bar high and working hard to ascend."

Access will follow Major Murphy's 2018 debut album No. 1, and was recorded between late 2018 and early 2020 at Russian Recording in Bloomington, Indiana with Mike Bridavsky and Ben Lumsdaine.

Crutchfield writes of the band's new album in the bio, "It’s an album that’s remarkably cohesive - a striking relic in an age where ardent and true 'album-making' is a fading art form. In nine songs, it somehow takes a listener backwards & forwards at once, reckoning with intrinsic anxieties while conceptualising a fantastical and vibrant happening, soothing in its familiar, occasionally childlike tone."
