Major Murphy release "In the Meantime" as second single from new album

08 February 2021, 11:40 | Written by Cerys Kenneally

Major Murphy are back with new cut "In the Meantime", the second single to be lifted from the band's forthcoming album Access.

"In the Meantime" follows last month's lead outing and title-track "Access", and is teamed with a video directed by Major Murphy vocalist/guitarist Jacob Bullard, and Matthew Bouwense.

The new song was written after Bullard and bassist/vocalist Jacki Warren's young son suffered from lead poisoning, and sees Bullard and Warren sing in harmony.

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.

Waxahatchee, aka Katie 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."

"In the Meantime" is out now. Major Murphy's Access album will be released via Winspear on 2 April, and is available to pre-order now.
