ESQUIRE: MURRY AMONG THE "BANDS YOU NEED TO HEAR FROM
SXSW"
THE LONDON TIMES: "HE LOOKS SET TO BECOME ONE OF THE
INDUSTRY EVENT'S BREAKOUT STARS"
BLACK BOOK: "WITH AN ARRESTING SENSE OF HONESTY AND
HUMAN INSIGHT, MURRY IS A MAN YOU SHOULD CERTAINLY GET TO KNOW"
Esquire, Black Book, and the London Times have all previewed
avant-noir newcomer John Murry's SXSW this week on the strength of his
forthcoming album 'The Graceless Age' (April 2 / Evangeline Recording Co.). Esquire
named Murry among the "bands you need to hear from SXSW."
Postable streaming song "The Ballad of the Pajama Kid."
"California" music video.
Meanwhile, The London Times called 'The Graceless Age
"images of broken-hearted gutter life over ten elegant and spacious
songs." Here's a scan.

Black Book Magazine ran a fascinating Q&A with the
songwriter yesterday. Hillary Weston writes, "With an arresting sense of
honesty and human insight, Murry is man that you should certainly get to know…
his songs cut straight to into the heart of man steeped in emotion, with the
psychological undercurrent of soul in distress. Born from the pain of
loneliness and a desire for expression, Murry's solo debut The Graceless Age is
a raw and emotional collection of autobiographical stories. Sonically
exercising his demons, his voice croons through a record that amalgamates the
bleak and the beautiful, the desolate and the serene, and the questions of
existence that plague us all."
