“I love the idea that my music-making is always happening,” Murray says. It would though be misleading: Murray, who’s recorded as Posset since 2001, is as cooperative a musician as you could hope to find. I set them up afternoon shows with some Newcastle bands, and they made a few CDRs.” Murray has occasionally alluded to his grind years on Posset releases, most comprehensively with 2025 release Scum – a song-by-song, 28-strong cover of the original Napalm Death album. Posset performs as part of the inaugural New Ruins Festival, which takes place from 17 to 20 September in Newcastle.
