    An album that takes us through the gamut of human experience. As I say, Um never feels like the tentative steps of a debutante.

    From the delicate orchestral arrangement of ‘Theme Parks’ to the frosty beats of ‘IRL’, the devil is in the detail on this pearl of a debut album.

    There's an assurance on Um from an artist that has gained the requisite experience to release such an accomplished debut.

    Tapestried by contributions from the likes of Rousay, Roy Montgomery, caroline’s Alex McKenzie and Squid’s Laurie Nankivell, Murphy’s debut is an uncanny and heroic game of hide and seek.
