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.
