Album Notes & Community Reviews

A collaboration between Bernard Butler (Suede), Norman Blake (Teenage Fanclub), and James Grant (Love and Money), 'Murmurs' is a masterclass in melodic, guitar-driven songwriting. The album is filled with jangly folk-rock and power-pop sensibilities, highlighted by the trio's rich vocal harmonies and intricate guitar work. It's a warm and beautifully crafted record that showcases the immense talent of these three celebrated musicians.
