The Murlocs - Old Locomotive

Old Locomotive is the third studio album by Australian rock band The Murlocs, released in July 2017 via Flightless Records.

The Murlocs formed in Ocean Grove in late 2010 comprising Ambrose Kenny Smith (vocals, guitars), Cal Shortal (guitars), Matt Blach (drums, vocals), Cook Craig (bass) and Tim Karmouche (keyboards).

The band has released two albums prior to this new release and has toured alongside Thee Oh Sees, Graveyard Train and Dave Graney. Their national tour in support of their second album Young Blindness (2016) has been very successful with sold out dates.

The new album Old Locomotive was produced by King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard frontman Stu Mackenzie. About the new album, frontman Ambrose Kenny Smith is quoted in a press release:  "In today’s future of webcam music, conventional bands might often be seen as a dying breed. Old Locomotive stands against rock’n’roll extinction. From start to finish each song approaches the face of abandonment and the continuous search for a better alternative.”

Check out the tracks:  “Oblivion”; “Noble Soldier”; and “Snake In The Grass”.

This limited edition LP record is on black and gold vinyl housed in a reflective silver sleeve with gold text and embossing, printed insert and digital download code, pressed in Australia, limited to 3,000 copies worldwide.
