Few people have such a long history with morc 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. And then JMB morphed into Edgar Wappenhalter, of whom we put out his first lp. And he did some vocals and bass-guitarparts on a couple of Annelies Monseré releases too. Now that I think of it: he was part of the first line-up of Luster as well. (and I didn’t even mention his other work he did in between, with silvester anfang or as kraak-labelboss)
Anyway: when Edgar Wappenhalter released his debut LP 'On the beach', reactions were quite overwhelming. The first pressing of the album was gone in a week, and the second pressing didn't last too long either. Steve Marreyt's mix of reverb-drenched folksongs and dreamy shoegaze obviously hit a soft spot. with s/t, he pushes the same spot in a different way, but no doubt he finds it this time as well.

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.
--> coming up in october
