Love Fame Tragedy: Act II. Matthew “Murph” Murphy – guitarist and lead singer of The Wombats – has announced the release of Five Songs To Briefly Fill The Void, the second EP from his collaborative solo project Love Fame Tragedy, out February 2020 via AWAL. Following a stellar list of collaborators on his debut EP I Don’t Want To Play The Victim, But I’m Really Good At It, Murph has enlisted Bastille frontman Dan Smith, Crystal Fighters’ Eleanor Fletcher and previous collaborator Maddi-Jean Waterhouse for the follow up.
Anthemic single ‘Body Parts’, out today, boasts an infectious, lust-driven chorus of slamming guitars and gut-busting drum pads alongside subtly conflicted lyrics, conveying the emotional confusion that romance can bring. The video, directed by XXX, focuses on the relationship between exhibitionist and voyeur in the digital age.
“I had the idea of a song called ‘Body Parts’ a while back. And I wanted to do something creepy and atmospheric, which I guess the verses kind of are. The chorus kind of came out of nowhere and added a much needed positive twist to the song. It feels great live and I think it’s the obvious choice to kick off EP2,” Murph explains.

Murph debuted the project live at Reading Festival this summer, along with shows in the UK, Europe, Australia and in the USA.
Named after a seminal Pablo Picasso exhibition at the Tate Modern, Love Fame Tragedy’s first EP I Don’t Want To Play The Victim, But I’m Really Good At It, came out in September. Featuring Pixies’ Joey Santiago, alt-J’s Gus Unger-Hamilton, Matt Chamberlain of Soundgarden, Lauren Aquilina & Maddi-Jean Waterhouse, it garnered widespread support from the likes of Zane Lowe, Annie Mac, NME, The Times and Metro.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
