Release Date: February 2015
This guy. You see this guy? This
guy makes me smile, cry, sob and leap with joy (metaphorically in the last
case, I'm not much of a leaper). Our paths have crossed in strange places and
my baby boy is inadvertently named after him so it is with great joy that I get
to bring his music on to the blog so early in 2015. Forthcoming single 'Ghostess'
is one of Morley's more sombre tunes but the fragile beauty shines through the
music as always. Sliding cello notes, Massive Attack-esque percussive rhythms
and stormy Sunday pianos all undulate beneathe Morley's voice which is holding
back the tears with every breathy word. What Morley does so wonderfully is take
apart your average song about love and loss to put it back together with some
parts in the conventional place but, on the whole, there is something wholly
new and original to be found. As 'Ghostess' builds to a crescendo of anger,
pain and rhythmically disorientating beats you feel the pain of someone going
through a break up and, if you're anything like me, it gives you a real 'love
the one you're with' kind of feeling. Stunning stuff as always and if you
haven't already seen him live I'd urge you to keep an eye out for any dates as
Mr Morley is charming live as he is sublime on record.
