We posted about Muricidae, before, but with the server issues, this release never got the attention it deserved on Side-Line. Muricidae is a brand new ethereal dreampop project by John Fryer (Depeche Mode, NIN, Cocteau Twins, etc.) with Louise Fraser on vocals. Out now is the 5-track EP “Tales From A Silent Ocean” which will please those who fell in love with Cocteau Twins due to the rich vocals and very smoothly mixed music of John Fryer.

The release is available now via iTunes, you can download it right here. A recommended release, and we surely hope to hear some more from this Oslo, Norway / Los Angeles, CA based act.

Side-Line also covered Muricidae’s ‘Away’.

Why we ask

Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.
