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, then made his solo debut here with a couple of John Merrick Band releases. Later on, JMB morphed into Edgar Wappenhalter, of whom we are now putting out his third lp. And he did some vocals and bass-guitarparts on a couple of releases by Annelies Monseré, with whom he started Luster, a band he recently re-joined after a hiatus of many years.
Outside of the morc-realm, he’s probably best known for as the co-founder of Silvester Anfang and the Funeral Folk-movement, and being the kraak-labelboss for a few years as well. So, with a resume like this, it’s not surprising that Steve is not constantly putting out new releases anymore – he really has nothing left to prove. Just the mere fact that he decides it’s time to put out a new lp, should be reason enough to get ready to give it a listen: the man delivers. Again.

IJsschots Veenlaag Mist
morc 91 - lp (2024)
Edgar Wappenhalter returns 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. In one album, he proves he’s one of the best intuitive songwriters around, and demonstrates his mastery in creating soundcollages as well. Best of all: he switches between them effortless, and he makes sure the listener doesn’t get lost along the way. To top it off: guest appearance by Annelies Monseré, and original artwork by Olivier Schrauwen.
