About Murzik
Murzik - Murzik - Self ReleasedFavorite tracks:1,3,5
Comparative Groups: Leonard Cohen, Devotchka, Tom Waits
www.murzikmusic.com
In the vein of groups such as gypsy punks Gogol Bordello and klezmer revivalists DeVotchKa; Murzik creates music that is exactly what you would expect. It is beautiful, soothing, sensual, quiet, quite pretty, a little bit naughty and more than a tad Russian at times. The band employs saxophones, accordions, mandolins, bells and glockenspiel along with more standard instruments of popular music such as bass, drums and acoustic guitar. With their unique instrumentation and well-wrought and introspective lyrics Murzik carves a dark sonic soundscape that is reminiscent of a list of analogous contemporary predecessors often bringing to mind comparisons to the work of Nick Drake, Tom Waits, or Joy Division.
When putting all relative and obvious comparisons to rest it becomes astoundingly clear that Murzik's music stands on its own. Haunched squarely upon the shear strength of its unique and exquisite sonic beauty, brash confident daring and its undeniable charm, it is meant as a centerpiece juxtaposed to the décor of an incredibly well manicured record collection.

“Imagine sitting at a well-worn bar in a darkly lit pub with soft, bittersweet music emanating from the guy playing piano and singing in the corner... it so perfectly accompanies your cold beer and the end of a long, long day. ”

“Gently mix Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits and Nick Cave. Throw in a little DeVotcha. Shake well in a low-lit, moody pub. Sip slowly and enjoy.”
