The tracks are called "Backflip" and "Brand New Brain," and both are available now for digital download. "Backflip" is also accompanied by a Black Mirror-inspired video, which you can watch now on YouTube.
Both songs will be included on the debut Love Fame Tragedy EP I Don't Want to Play the Victim, But I'm Really Good At It, due out September 27. The collection includes contributions from Pixies guitarist Joey Santiago, Alt-J's Gus Unger-Hamilton and one-time Pearl Jam and Soundgarden drummer Matt Chamberlain.
"It's great to have talented musicians, musicians who have their own niche," Murphy says. "When you hear Joey play the guitar you can just tell it's him and the same thing with Gus with the key melodies he chooses and the distinct sound of his voice."
"It's great to have artists and musicians like that playing on songs of your own because it makes them 10 times cooler, at least in your own head," he adds.
The first U.S. Love Fame Tragedy tour begins September 17 in San Francisco.
