morc records

	last update: april 15th 2008
	while jessica bailiff was in europe last fall, she recorded a couple of tracks with annelies monseré - and this gem is now available as a cdep. Although it’s just the two of them, this ep has a very built-up sound, which is reminiscent of Jessica’s earliest output and Annelies’ most recent live shows. Vocals, guitars and cello- and keyboard drones get a very prominent role on these recordings, which were made entirely in the analog domain. the ep is limited to 310 handnumbered copies, with partially handwritten linernotes by annelies monseré, and comes in a very stylish, lp-alike sleeve. order it for just 6 euro + shipping... or see below for a package deal.
	the first new morc-releases of this years is out since march: it is a new record by r.o.t. 'ceci n'est pas avioth/ils chantent pour vous'. This onesided 12" is maybe the most minimal but yet slightly melodic output by this analog bigband thusfar. these are two lenghty tracks recorded throughout 2007. and this is their first vinyl release since their celebrated album on (k-raa-k)3, and their second one on morc. comes as a onesided 12" ep, in a beautiful silkscreened jacket. edition of 175 copies - and we're down to less then 20 copies - price is still 9 euro + shipping...
	We still have a couple of copies left of old things by jessica bailiff. This is a collection of rare and unreleased material, mostly recorded between the releases of her second and third album. we offer this one as a 'package deal' with the collaboration cdep of jessica and annelies monseré: get both of them for 15 euro, excl shipping (around 2,5 euro, depending on where you live). if you prefer, we could throw in annelies' 'helder' album (released by our friends at bluesanct) for a total price of 20 euro + shipping! the two other release we put out last year are still available as well. the most recent one was kleine, a cd by iditarod. Though it was recorded over the course of five years, this is probably the most coherent output in the impressive back-catalogue of iditarod. The more direct songs merge perfectly with the psychedelic tape and drone experiments. and then there also is sC, the debut cd of soccer committee. This is the first ‘official’ release of Mariska Baars from Leiden, Holland. Soccer Committee manages to build entire worlds with not much more than a few well chosen guitar notes and her soft voice. Delicate, beautiful and truly breathtaking... these releases are all available for the give-away price of 10 euro, excl shipping. see the contact page for order info. You want to hear some of the songs? feel free to check the mp3's on the sounds page. a few of these songs have also been uploaded to last.fm or myspace. (ugh) - anyway, feel free to add morctapes as a friend in that region too..
	and if that's not even enough to persuade you to get your hands on these releases: we made new buttons, based on the artwork of iditarod, soccer committee and jessica bailiff. and we have a few buttons left of some older releases too. we'll throw these in for free with any order.
	After being out of print for a while, we found back one (1) copy of the bingo trappers/wio/pernath/mongrell split 7" released in 2001. the bingo trappers song sounds like a laidback mix of skygreen leopards and the byrds, mongrell like an uptempo Breeders, pernath like those old shrimper tapes, and wio better than ever. one (1) copy left. 5 euro + shipping, and this piece of history is yours...
	also, there are very few copies left of the split 7" of Fields of Gaffney and pernath. 4 winners on this ep, so be sure not to miss it. eric gaffney (from fields of...) is touring europe this spring btw, as part of the original sebadoh line-up performing bubble and scrape. the hilversum, nov 3 3", with exclusive tracks by drekka, soccer committee, annelies monseré and vollmar, recorded live at the former morc hq. is now gone.the soccer committee track appears in a studio version on the sC album. also gone here: the 10" my only warm coals by holy sons. best known as drummer for grails , jandek (!) and OM (!!!), this is the solo project of emil amos. A few distros have copies left, get in touch, and we'll show you were to get them. more things gone out of stock recently (at least here): the latest tape by circle bros (the dream ends...). and for the second time: the zent one/circle bros split lp . the same goes here as for the holy sons 10": we'll be glad to show you the way to distros who have some copies left.
	good news for the downloaders amongst you: you can get some of the more recent morc-releases as a download at woven wheat whispers. particulary interesting is the much sought-after ep by annelies monseré '7' - for a bargain price....
	so what is coming up after all this goodness? a very brief overview: - new buttons - a cd by puddle parade - a cd or lp by karina esp -a 7" by annelies monseré - more surprises!
