Limited edition cassette on Merrie Records:

Magie is the title of a poem by Henri Michaux where the protagonist spent twenty years struggling to put himself into an apple in pursuit of serenity.

Beijing-born, Paris-based musician P. Murk pictures writing an imaginary letter to his friend before fixing himself in an apple. The letter guides its recipient, step by step, to the musician’s room and to his table on which placed the apple, P. Murk’s new humble abode.

You Really Should Come to the House is the latest EP from P. Murk, a lo-fi musician who somewhat distances himself from local music scenes. While still a DIY recording, the new EP (which started off as a soundtrack for an exhibition which never happened) deviate from the musician’s previous efforts, the rhythm-centric art-rock of Luftmensch and the autoharp-driven lo-fi sound of Vernal. Instead, the new EP turns to a more melodic, studied yet highly subdued sound.

A Bachelardian pursuit to the oneiric childhood is present throughout the record. P. Murk tries to (futilely) recall his earliest memories of music, be it from TV, radio or in the street. “A scene that popped into my mind a lot while writing this EP is that of a child sitting alone in a room by dusk listening to the music coming out from the radio placed in front of him. I wanted to write that music.”

Lending a hand to help achieve this dreamlike sound is musician Sijiang Chen, frontwoman of Hiperson, who co-wrote and contributed spoken words to two songs from the record.
