Father Murphy Embarking On North American Tour, Streaming Full EP

Italy's Father Muprhy is currently en route to the East Coast where the band will spread eccentric and diseased hymns across North America on an epic month-long journey, with additional rituals recently added in Washington, DC, San Diego, Salt Lake City and Albany. The trek includes a live appearance on June 19th at WFMU in Jersey City, New Jersey.

The frighteningly strangulating avant occult duo, who The Wire likened to "homemade Morricone and toytown Goblin," will be touring in support of the "Pain Is On Our Side Now" EP, released via Aagoo Records earlier this year.

A concept album that centers itself on failure, "Pain Is On Our Side Now" boasts four chilling tracks of eroticism and emotional decay, which can all be heard below. See the band live on these dates:
