last update: may 22nd 2013

 


jessica bailiff and boduf songs just finished a joint european tour. to celebrate that,we released a split 7". both artist rework one of their finest songs from their recent backcatalogue. just as on the tour, boduf songs brings a stripped down version of decapitation blues. jessica bailiff toured as a loud threepiece, but here she deliveres a remarkable version of lakeside blues, focussed on organ. two epic pieces, that fit well in their impressive discographies.
this record comes in a full colour sleeve, with download code, and is limited to a one time pressing of 200 copies. it can be yours for just 6 euro.
after a long silence, we can welcome back Bingo Trappers; the legendary lofi duo from Amsterdam. With their unique psychedelic tinged garage-pop tunes, and records on labels like shrimper and animal world they gathered quite a cult following. Druggy pop songs, harmonies, riffs, choruses and bridges, harmonicas and pedal steel, with The Byrds, Dylan and Young as their gurusthe LP Sister Planet is their first release on morc in ten years. and it's a great one; This is a limited edition of only 150 LP's, beautifully screenprinted by Smeraldina-Rima, and with liner notes by Simon Joyner. comes with a download coupon, for a cheap price of 12 euro (+shipping)
the Lichens lp "lítiõ fólk' was sold out for a while. but we did a small repress of another 150 copies. on this release, Robert Lowe (of Om, 90 day men) focuses on his distinct voice. For the most part of the album, you’ll hear nothing but his wordless vocals – some parts melodic, some droning, some pulsating, but at all times enchanting. impressive from the very first to the very last notes.

and we're running low on copies of all these other titles we put out the past year. really: we only have about 20-30 copies left of each:

Félicia Atkinson: "summer eyes'(onesided lp - 10 euro)
Summer Eyes is a bit lighter than Felicia’s most recent output. The first track starts out with a very recognizable keyboard melody, but slowly turns into a powerful yet friendly sounding drone, with all the elements from the very start still recognizable in there. The second song is an instrumental –to her standards- popsong.

Annelies Monseré/Circle bros: "split ep" (7" - 6 euro)
Annelies and Wim have been living together for about 10 years. From the moment they moved in together they became a big indirect influence on
each others work. In Annelies’ case, this resulted in the use of more effects and writing guitar-based songs. Whereas Circle Bros drifted away from being a guitar-oriented drone entity. Listeners who pay attention will hear plenty of similarities .

Annelies Monseré : Nest(10" - 10 euro)
on this ep, Annelies brings together her stark pianosound and her loude, built up songs. this is perfectly illustrated in her two versions of 'all things are quite silent'. 5 songs, over 23 minutes in total. to top it off: steve marreyt of edgar wappenhalter sings along!

visit the catalog page and now we're at at it: there's not a single release of which we have more than 50 copies left in stock. of these titles we only have less than 10 copies left

- morc 28: fields of gaffney/Pernath: split ep (7")
- morc 58: urpf lanze/Edgar Wappenhalte/hellvete: tour ep (cd)
superb mix of high quality adventurous pop, drones and farout-singer songwriters
- morc 54: circle bros: haven (lp) partially improvised songs - drones thrown into pop and folkstructures
visit our page on bandcamp (opens a new window) 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 'on the beach' by edgar wappenhalter, the onesided rot 12".... anyway: it's all up at http://morctapes.bandcamp.com
