One of the UK’s most singular voices, Murkage Dave has spent the last decade crafting a body of work that refuses to fit neatly into any genre box. Sonically, Brut Thoughts sits between outsider pop and political realism, a cathartic soundtrack for life in late capitalism, drawing inspiration from Talking Heads, Sampha, The Smiths, and The Streets. His music, loosely pop but informed by indie, outsider art, and an instinct for storytelling, is built on honesty, empathy, and fearless social commentary.
