For the Matt Murphy fans out there in crabwalk.com readerdom — and I know I’ve converted at least a couple of you — his band City Field has two songs up on their new myspace.com page. I remain disappointed that City Field isn’t putting Matt front and center, which is where a man of his frontman greatness belongs.

(He shares vox with at least two other members. The female lead sounds a little too early Linda McCartney, if you know what I mean, and the other male lead sounds like a self-conscious Mark Mothersbaugh. As if there’s a non-self-conscious Mark Mothersbaugh.)

Anyway, Matt doesn’t sing on either of the posted tracks, but they remain nonetheless candidates for continued improvement.
