Murray Cook And His Soul Movers New Single “You-Turn”
Said Murray Cook, “Despite the band’s name The Soul Movers dig into a wide range of groovy, high-energy retro sounds from the 1960’s and 70’s.
Our passion for the very same groovy late 70s vibes (Stones, B52s) and the very rocking “Detroit Sound” is apparent on our most recent album “Dumb Luck” and nowhere more than in this Feb 9 drop: “You-Turn”. It’s an out and out rocker. We’ve put an Aussie twist on a classic rock sound inspired by bands such as The Stooges, MC5 and Radio Birdman (Guitarist Deniz Tek started The Sound Movers with Lizzie).
Getting to work with Josh (The Chats) on the track linked multiple generations who are deeply into this kind of guitar-driven (punk) rock and roll. When he heard the track last year, after the Max Mad 5 shoot wrapped in NSW, Director George Miller got where we were coming from. It really would be a dream come true if our tribute to the rebel spirit did finally make it onto the big screen.
I’ve dragged out the Marshall plexi and some rockin’ guitars; my 65 SG and 64 Epiphone Crestwood Custom (similar to Deniz’s iconic instrument), cranked up the amp and attacked the guitars. It’s a blast of Detroit inspired rock’n’roll. Josh Hardy’s (The Chats) wild squalls on the outro are a joy and the icing on the cake.”
Here’s the back story to You-Turn:
What happens when founding Soul-Mover Lizzie Mack and OG Red Wiggle Murray Cook (AKA the SHRED Wiggle) hang side-stage at Splendour to watch The Chats? Well, their Aussie punk-rock passion is reignited BIG TIME and before you know it Lizzie is scribbling lyrics for this track side stage to share with Chat’s guitarist, Josh Hardy!
Add some rocket-fuelled guitars and a splash of girl-band (think Runaways) for extra flames and what do you get? Well, hopefully enough excitement to hold legendary director George Miller’s interest (Mr. Mad Max himself!) into the final film edit!
If you dig high-octane OG rock enjoy the thrill as your circuit overloads with muscle-car throttle and flat-out rock-n-roll devil-may-care high spirits and attitude! And if that ain’t enough, add some Radio Birdman flavour, with trademark Deniz Tek guitar licks, and put Rob Younger co-producing on the front bench seat.
