Beefheart & McQuinn is the new project from UK artist Moby Beefheart aka William Murray (formerly
of UK outfit Fur) and Melbourne / Naarm musician Winter McQuinn (Sunfruits, jade imagine). Coming
together after a chanced coffee meetup, the musical connection between the two artists is palpable.
Sharing a love for the folk and rock sounds of yesteryear without pastiche obsession, Beefheart &
McQuinn make contemporary psychedelic folk / soft rock, a rich sonic tapestry of vocal harmony
blends and deft musicianship / production. Both Winter McQuinn & William Murray have successful
and meaningful careers as emerging songwriters / performers in their own right. Both have released
multiple albums with respective bands and have toured internationally 2021-2025 across Australia,
New Zealand, Asia, Europe, UK and the US including Falls Festival, Bigsound, Reading & Leeds
Festival, Manchester Psych Festival, Great Escape, praised by tastemakers including The Guardian,
Clash, triple j, Rolling Stone and New Commute.
This first offering ‘Hand In Hand’ is a Joni esque song about the effect of a busy working life in a new
place coupled with the feeling of isolation and anxiety that the modern world’s political landscape can
engender. Written by Moby, recorded in McQuinns home studio (where they record all their music) the
song features beautifully deft, syncopated waterfall guitar playing and vocals with tasteful percussion
and harmonies drifting in and out of focus.
