We have recently grown quite fond of the music of Mulherin. The twins from Tennessee have a knack for these simple concept, R&B songs. With their past two releases (the first being "747"), they have toyed with a word here and there and based entire songs around witty comparisons that can be related to universally. They also have a knack for choosing the right collaborators for their songs. Their last track was a perfect fit for SITR favorite Jon Waltz's thoughtful musings, and this one seems perfect for Wave Chapelle. I mean, this is the first piece of music I have heard from him, and just from listening to his two verses of painstaking honestly, I feel like I know him. That's rare.
Check out more tracks by Mulherin over on their SoundCloud.
Mulherin is comprised of twin brothers from Memphis, Tennessee. Their new song "747" opens up with a sound reminiscent of "Cameras" from Drake's sophomore album Take Care, but as soon as the initial beat drops and the vocals kick in, you are left with a completely original composition. It is a piece of music where the instrumental is just as important as the voice and words, where the melody loops around and locks into your mind and the background vocals transport you into the clouds. Then, Jon Waltz rips a quietly poetic verse, and suddenly, the 4 and 1/2 minute song is over. Damn. I guess, time flies.
