Hi there,
we're taking a very fast start this year: THREE new releases are coming up late february. and boy, these are three releases by longtime favorites, and names that should sound familiar to everyone who's been following morc for a while...
in short:(more details on the release-pages)
MORC 81: Pefkin: celestial navigations (lp)
Gayle’s third lp on morc truely brings together everything we like so much about her work:a mesmerising and enigmatic layering of vocals, violin, analogue synth, zither, psaltery, harp, guitar, found objects and field recordings, all blending together into slowly-unfolding, ritualistic hymnals that draw heavily on the landscape and natural world
MORC 80: Lowered – music for empty rooms (cd)
Slow-motion chamber music, with silence as the conductor. ‘Music for empty rooms’ explores the nature of dissonance, resonance and silence, in response to experiential loss and displacement, using the unprocessed sounds of piano, singing bowls, tam-tam, cello and mostly room tones. A very intense but rewarding listening experience.
MORC 79: R.O.T.: Klein eiland (cd)
Long-awaited return by this minimalistic noise bigband from Belgium. the sound of subtle communication, using mostly unamplified sounds. r.o.t. manages to capture a specific time and space like no one else does
as usual: bargain prices of 10euro per cd, 14 euro per lp - shipping to most countries (EU + USA) is approx 9 euro for an lp, or 5 euro for the two cds. the whole lot? 30 euro, shipping should be around 14 euro, and there's even room to put in some extra items at no additional shipping costs. and: when ordering at least three items (like these three new ones), there's always a ten percent discount on other titles.
'official' release date is feb 25th - however: preorders will be sent out shortly before, so they should arrive on the 25th...

in 2019, we only managed to get one new release done. but: it's one that we had been thinking about for a while: a gorgeous split lp by two familiar faces: Matt Christensen and Circle Bros. both veterans present long, semi-improvised and meandering tracks that are somewhat out of their comfort zone, but so recognisable their very own style.
Matt brings one sidelong track that explores pretty much every aspect of guitar-ambient possible, with some vocals hidden in as well. Circle Bros put together two silent yet fluent tracks about lack of sleep.
The album is pressed on high-quality german clear vinyl, and all sleeves are screenprinted by hand on sturdy chipboard paper. complete with download coupon.
as usual: just 14 euro + shipping - which is around 6 euro for belgium, 9-10 for anywhere in europe or the usa, and 14 for the rest of the world.(also: when ordering at least three items, you'll get a 10% discount...) order? head over to the store.

this might be a good moment to remind you:
- we've totally ran out of copies of the tanner/kraus lp, the puddle parade cd and the iditarod lp. No more copies of these gems that came out a couple of years ago overhere. however: some distro's still have a few left. get in touch, and we'll guide you to a distro in your area.
- we're running low on stock of most items that are still available. (eg the soccer committee cd, the annelies monseré lp, even the recent bingo trappers lp!) don't say we didn't warn you.
