Another Year

Major Murphy follows up their debut long play No. 1 with a set of bedroom recordings archiving a time when Jacob Bullard was discovering his voice as a songwriter and the band was finding their footing within that space. Named after the house in Grand Rapids, MI that many of these songs were written and recorded in, The Lafayette EP chronicles a liminal space as the project transitioned from a stripped-down, solo project toward a three-piece rock band. The porches and walls of this house on Lafayette Avenue was a natural space for creativity and collaboration, a space where the band recorded early versions of Major Murphy standards that would eventually be taken into the studio.

On "No. 1 (Lafayette Version)" Bullard and drummer, Bud Voortman, jam for the first time what would become the title track of their debut record. “When I Go Out (Cookie Crumb Version)” features textures and instrumentation that differ from the album version. Here Jacki Warren can be heard providing an enchanting harmony, which became a common thread throughout No. 1. With "Come By Sunday" Bullard writes an open-hearted expression of affection that is nostalgic as much as it is forward-thinking. Listening to these tracks is almost like walking past the Lafayette house on a breezy Fall morning, hearing the songs spilling out the windows and down the street. Venture to peer through a window and you just might catch a glimpse of the magic.

Major Murphy - Come By Sunday

It's Friday night I feel it coming. 
There's only one thing left to do. 
In my mind the feelings running,
and they're running from you. 

Open up the vault, what do you see? 
Through the window lights in lines. 
I hear the rumbling talking
I hope that everything's alright.

And finally we're free,
Step out into the light.  
The corridor it tempts me,
But know that everything's alright. 

I find the space it's ever growing.
A garage without a car.
Ups and downs, the ebbs they're flowing. 
A to B seems so far. 

On Saturday, feet in the grass.
The sun blinds my eyes. 
I know the feeling won't last. 
Just a Saturday/Sunday full of lies. 

And finally we're free,
Step out into the light.  
The corridor it tempts me,
But know that everything's alright.
