Are you ready for an ominous sermon this Friday evening? Munly & Lupercalians are delivering it with new long player Kinnery Of Lupercalia: Underlivered Legion today, followed by the world tour supporting the release. Fans of literary, visceral noir-like sounds in the vein of the Murder Ballad era of Nick Cave, will find much to love about these nightmarish narratives delivered in insidious song form by these Denver natives. Originally signed to Alternative Tentacles, the band is finally releasing their new LP which came out in March as a very limited run for the fan club. Now, the LP is finally available for pre-order. Watch a teaser video for the track ‘Fortunate Listener’ below.
Originating from local DIY punk roots, Munly J. Munly 32nd has become an influential and visually striking fixture in the Denver arts community for over 30 years. As lead songwriter & vocalist of Slim Cessna’s Auto Club, DBUK and Munly & the Lupercalians, the lyricist and writer has been prolifically creating and performing locally and worldwide, generating a cult following and reputation. Within all of Munly’s current work, he unites hundreds of fully developed characters in the constantly morphing world of Lupercalia
Initially released as a limited vinyl edition for fans only, this Munly & the Lupercalians album Kinnery Of Lupercalia; Undelivered Legion is finally officially coming out via SCACUNINCORPORATED on August, the 26th supported by two special September 2022 record release shows in USA and a full October 2022 tour in Europe. This record isrelease number one of three that will form triptych of tales about his created world of Lupercalia on SCACUNINCORPORATED record label; after this Munly & the Lupercalians album (#1), the additional releases will be performed by his other projects – Slim Cessna’s Auto Club (#2) and th DBUK (#3). Each album spins the tales and stories of various characters within Munly J Munly 32nd˚’s fictional world of the ’Kinnery of Lupercalia’
While discussing his early career, Munly J Munly 32nd˚explains: “I love A. A. Milne, but I have found that is not my voice. What faltering voice I have found is drawn towards unsavory situations, malevolent characters, uncompromising settings.” – while also creating similar eclectic lyrical characters to Milne, Munly’s creativity does differentiate his process however.
“I normally write in the first person” – further explains Munly: “But this does not mean I am the first person. I do love a few of my characters, however, I would not tolerate the majority of these abhorrence’s if they were real. And that is the crux. Many of these beings are not fiction in this world, for a portion of the human race they have been a dominating presence.”
