Murlo announces new album, ‘Puckle’, shares single, ‘Carapace’: Listen
The Manchester-based artist’s first album in four years will arrive in August
Murlo has shared details of his new album, ‘Puckle’, alongside the release of its first single. Listen to ‘Carapace’ below.
The follow-up to 2019’s ‘Dolos’ will arrive on 11th August via Coil Records/Supernature, and is set to build on the “visual artistry and skillful storytelling” of the acclaimed debut.
The album’s first single, ‘Carapace’ is the first music from the Manchester-based artist since 2021’s three-track ‘Unearth’ EP, which was inspired by the natural world and included a thematic ‘fungi identification kit bundle’.
Continuing on the theme of artistic experimentation, the new album will come alongside a limited run of 3D miniatures which Murlo has designed and printed to bring elements of the story to life, as well as a printed visual compendium that delves deeper into the lore of the album.
“Combining my visual work with music has always been a way to add another layer to what I'm writing, a way to engage the audience in a more immersive way,” he said on the project. “The music is more than just an accompaniment to the narrative - it’s a character in its own right.”
‘Puckle’ is set for release on 11th August. Listen to ‘Carapace’ below.
