there,
let's start 2025 with a very, very exciting announcement. the lp 'Kroppskännedom' by Kroppskännedom is out now. that's the project of Andreas Malm, from Malmö, Sweden. on his gorgeous first lp, Kröppskännedom brings us slow, repetitive tracks using the sounds of decaying tapes and ripped amps, with a strong focus on texture. maybe what it could have sounded like if Wouter van Veldhoven produced the instrumental Unwound-songs or ‘White light/white heat’? Feat. guest appearances by Sofie Herner (Leda, Neutral) and Nein Rodere.
we've ran out of copies in no time, but should still be able to get a copy via one of the many fine distro's that carry the lp: Aguirre (be), Art into life (jp) Bis Aufs Messer (de), Bongo Joe (ch), Clear spot/Shiny Beast (nl), Consouling (be), Discreet music (se), Dizonord (fr), El Muelle (es), Grapefruit (usa), Nature Strip (aus), Out of print (be), Pop culture shop (fr), Soundohm (it), Tobira (jp), World of Echo (uk). or if you're just after digital: our bandcamp page.

We have two release from 2024 left in stock, both in small quantities. last fall were happy to welcome back Steve Marreyt, aka Edgar Wappenhalter - with his latest lp IJsschots Veenlaag mist. Few people are such an integral part of the morc-history like Steve Marreyt – he appeared on a morc compilation with one of his first bands in 2000, and later on releases by john merrick band, luster and annelies monseré. Here, Wappenhalter reverts to making gritty reverb-drenched folksongs. But the poetic and electronic elements from his previous album remain – they’re just incorporated in the songs this time. It makes ‘Ijsschots Veenlaag Mist’ probably Wappenhalter’s most balanced work thusfar.
Earlier in 2024, we welcomed Linus Vandewolken to the morc family. his lp 'Oude geuze uit Niemandaal' came out on june 20th.
As an American in Belgium, McCloud Zicmuse developed a deep love for some of the customs of his new-found homeland: a specific kind of archery (‘staande wip’), celebrating carnaval, aging geuze-beers, and not in the least: playing de ‘hommel”, the Flemish cousin of the apalachian Dulcimer. With the persona Linus Vandewolken, Zicmuse took a deep dive into these traditions. His love for the hommel is very real, yet he breaks out of the narrow framework in which the instrument is often handled. The additional use of homemade flutes, percussion instruments and some humming definitely add up to the experience.
both lp's have the usual low price of 18 euro - or you can pick up three lp's of your choice for just 50 euro + shipping (which is the same as for one lp). yes, that includes the new lps, and the lp's that we only have a handful of copies left. we encourage you to take a dive.

this might be a good moment to remind you:
- we try to keep things in print for a decent amount of time. so we repressed the soccer Committee's lp '♥/Lamb' and the debut lp of Luster.
- we did manage to restock a few out-of-print titles. for the first time in years, we're happy to have (very few) copies in stock of eg. the drekka 2cd, the roxane métayer/pefkin split lp, the iditarod cd... full list of what's in: see the 'store' page
- We've completely ran out of copies of the kroppskannedom lp, the label sampler cd, the lise barkas & lisa kauffert lp, the cardcarrying v/a cd... and we don't have huge quantities left of all of the other releases either. don't say we didn't warn you. however: some distro's probably have a few copies in stock. get in touch if you need help on locating one of our sold out releases.
- full overview of what's still in stock: www.morctapes.com/store . do know: you only pay for shipping the first (largest) item - EG when ordering an lp, all additional cd's and lp's are with free shipping. when ordering a cd, additional cds go along for free. if available, we can send to parcel points too.
don't forget to listen,
