things
are a bit quiet on the releasefront, because we just moved
houses. so, for new stuff, you'll have to wait untill
this spring.
untill then, we still have the items on the left available,
though some of them in pretty small quantities... |
 |
for
those of you into 'download only' releases: we made a
bandcamp,
where you find all releases we did from 2007 on, even
the ones that are out of print. we've also put up a free
sampler there. (well, you can donate what you like)
releases that are still in print can be picked up there
as well, but are available for download as well. items
that are out of print are 'donate what you like'. examples
are the 'somewhere someone' ep by annelies monseré, 'on
the beach' by edgar wappenhalter, the collab of annelies
monseré and jessica bailiff, the collab of soccer committee
and machinefabriek... anyway: it's all up at http://morctapes.bandcamp.com |

pretty
delighted about the release we've been putting outlast
year. first of all, there's this sharron
kraus & michael tanner lp. in short: Field recordings
get a whole new meaning on this album. Sharron Kraus and
Michael Tanner (of Plinth and United Bible Studies) took
their instruments to the Rheidol Valley in Wales and improvised
songs, inspired and accompanied by the nature sounds.
The result are eight very diverse experimental yet traditional
sounding folksongs, that are very muchrelated to both
artists' solo output. comes in beautiful screenprinted
sleeves, in an edition of 250 copies - still not convinced?
we've put up an mp3 for
you... |

Edgar
Wappenhalter toured europe this past spring, accompanied
by hellvete and Urpf lanze - to celebrate this, the three
of them each recorded one new track, which we've put out
as a split cd,
of almost half an hour long. a superb mix of high quality
adventurous pop, drones and soundscapes and farout-singer
songwriters. the cd comes in a three panel cover, with
a folded tourposter in it. limited to 200 copies, of which
only a handful remain. |
 |
we're
running low on copies of the
circle bros lp 'haven'.
the past few years, a few eps and a few collabs came out
(ao with drekka and karina esp) - and circle bros evolved
a bit. whereas a few years a ago, this was a more ambient-esque
project, but now you can expect a more-song oriented approach.
influences from drone-outfits like azusa plane are still
clear, but you can add the experimental pop and folksctructures
from the likes of grouper,castanets or richard youngs.
'haven' is an lp, in an edition of about 150 copies, mastered
by mkl of 4K mastering, carefully pressed on vinyl and
comes in a beautiful silkscreened jacket, printed by the
nice people of smeraldina. |

we
(recently) ran out of these:
- morc 56: edgar
wappenhalter: on
the beach lp
Expect songs that blend shoegaze and psychfolk, or sound
like a beachparty heard from so far away that you can't
tell what the dj is playing, only that it sounds familiar
and great.
- morc 55: winters day:
s/t 7"
These two tracks are the first to be heard from the much
anticipated collaboration of Aaron Martin & Dawn Smithson
(ex-Jessamine, Sunno))- and Castanets-collaborator). Dawn's
haunting melodies, clear vocals and disorted minimal guitar
lines blend in perfectly with Aaron's vague and wide string
arrangements.
- morc 49: annelies
monsere:
somewhere someone 7"
organ based and folk inspired songs. loudest annelies
releas thusfar.
if interested, please contact us, we can show you the
way to distro's that might have some copies left. |
