You have to hand it to Planet Mu. Sure, their taste can be questionable at times, but no label goes into more genres than them and no label pulls diamonds out of the rough like they can. Sunken Foal is just the latest in a long line of winners for them. Dublin's Dunk Murphy blends synthetic voices team up with gentle guitar, piano, and glitchy electronic work for a really impressive debut album. This is a lot more refined than what I'd expect from a debut on Planet Mu, but Murphy has created a finely tuned unqiue sound that is immediately grabbing, shifting in intensity, and very atmospheric. This is what The Gasman could sound like if he didn't realease so much unfinished material. The vocals may sound like a gimmick, but they blend in perfectly with the Sunken Foal aesthetic, are barely noticeable as such other than them being yet another sound in the mix, and again add to the uniqueness of what you're hearing. Another impressive new artist out of the Planet Mu camp.
