Hi there,
let's start 2025 with a very, very exciting announcement. in february, Kroppskännedom will be putting out an lp via us. 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.
The lp will be out mid-february. pre-orders will start once all lp's are assembled, probably early february. more details then, but as usal, this release will be avaible via a series of excellent mailorders as well.

Hi there,
We’re delighted to announce the triumphant return of Steve Marreyt, aka Edgar Wappenhalter - with a new lp!. 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 on 'IJsschots Veenlaag Mist', 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.
The album is a tribute to the work of the Dutch poet Sonja Prins (1912-2009) - which explains why the titles are in Dutch, and this is the first morc-release with Dutch lyrics only. However, this is not just ‘poems set to music’ Steve uses the poems more as an inspiration, not as the foundation of the songs. Also good to know: ‘Hallusineren’ features guest vocals of Annelies Monseré (Luster), a longtime collaborator of Steve. And the original artwork is drawn by Olivier Schrauwen, one of Steve’s favorite comic book artists, who shares a very similar aesthetic. Is IJsschots Veenlaag Mist a full package? It sure is.
order a copy for just 18 euro, directly via us, or one of our distro's: consouling (be), discreetmusic (se), el muelle1931 (es), grapefruit (usa), music mania (be), objects & sounds (be) out of print (be), paard van troje (be), paradise of replica (usa), pop cultureshop (fr), shiny beast (nl), soundohm (it), tobira records (jap), vinyl hunter (uk), vynilla (be), world of echo (uk), zoezoe records (be) (and probably some more)

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. the lp comes in a gorgeous full colour sleeve with screenprinted insert. order a copy, for the cheap price of 18 euro.

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've completely ran out of copies of the the roxane métayer lp, the label sampler cd, the jessica bailiff cd, the lise barkas & lisa kauffert lp, the lowered cd, the s/t edgar wappenhalter lp, the iditarod 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. this way, most orders with lps in Belgium ship for around 7 euro, europe for 15 euro, usa 21 euro. ROW is a bit more expensive: around 25 for the first item, and 4 euro per additional lp (sorry!). cd's are shipped via letterpost. if available, we can send to parcel points too.
