Morcfm epsiode 51 - june 26th 2025

plenty of new releases in this one. we start with a track of the latest Roxane Métayer lp, and believe me: it's her best lp thusfar. total stunner. other very new releases: Miradasvacas, Lau Nau as a duo with Joshua Burkett, Ferries and Usage Efficiency Variance Platform. less obscure: i presume some belgians will wonder what happened that i'm playing Elisa Waut here. simple: great song, recently bought the album.
confession: this episode was recorded the day before the troth/nein rodere show, so, we don't mention it at all. but we do talk about the very first show we ever set up: a boy named thor played in pane et amore, and brought his BBPTC-labelmates Rabbit in Red along. i can talk for a few hours about how that directly and indirectly was a very, very important evening for me/morc, but you'll have to settle with the recording of the opening track of the Rabbit in Red set; even including belgium's most infamous heckler shouting 'LOUSY SOUNDGUY' at the beginning.

Morcfm episode 50 - may 29th 2025
|
we promised you last time we'd add a new jingle. we did. let us know if you recognize all the sampled parts in the intro and the outro. but: we celebrate our 50th episode with two specials. the first one is about the upcoming Nein rodere/Troth-show we're co-hosting here in ghent on june 20th. we'll play tracks by both of them of course, and give a taste of some other projects they're involved with. (yes, that includes this year's kroppskännedom lp). and the second special is about three:four records, the swiss label with whom we co-released the Eva Fernández Suárez & Thomas Barrière lp. we're fans of the label since the very start, and played many artists here on the show before (ao maninkari, norberto lobo angelo m farro....) and we've both done releases by ao lichens, delphine dora, circle bros and annelies monseré. so: about time for an in-depth listen.

Sterrenplaten - may 16th 2025
|
The kind people of Sterrenplaten invited me into their studio. i picked plenty of songs from the morc-backcatalogue, related releases, and some old/new favorites. and we talked. warning: we talked a lot. in dutch. so, you'll hear me ramble about old and new friendships, working at a slow pace, various connections between artists, and some gossip you might or might not have heard before. i'll also tell the full anecdote about how bettie serveert saved morctapes. true story.

Morcfm episode 49 - may 1st 2025
|
the day after this episode is the official release date for the Eva Fernández Suárez & Thomas Barrière lp 'Adela'. it feels wrong to pick a personal favorite from the album, but i did it anyway: so 'Harta' is kicking of this episode.
i realize the summer started, but still: we're playing quite a few songs with downer vibes. recent one, older ones, and things we only recenly discovered. we talk a bit about the morc-connection of The Ex (third time we play time, but the first time they released new material since we started the radioshow). spoiler: the connection is bingo trappers-related! you'll also hear a few regulars: cheater slicks (with the most optimistic song from this set), jimmy smack and shirley collins: we played them many times before, but after all, the subtitle of the show is 'the sound you hear at morc hq', which is very true. besides: we have a good reason to play this particular shirley collins-recording. ending the episode is a new solo-recording by laurent of r.o.t., and well: it's great. more summer vibes next time? who knows?

Morcfm episode 48 - april 3rd 2025

starting off with a track première, you know this will be a good episode, no? you'll hear a song from the upcoming album by Eva Fernández Suárez & Thomas Barrière. we've been fans of Eva's work since we first heard her album released under the alias 'Dana Valser'. The track 'Agua' is pretty representative for the lp, hope you'll enjoy it as much as we do.
and: plenty more recent releases in this episode: Milkweed, Blod, Younes Zarhoni, Warm Currency (again!), Hugo Randulv, Pacific Walker, Fleckentarn: all of them released in the passed few months. add a few classics (CHBB, Jen Turrell, Cat's Miaow and Jessica Bailiff), and you're up for an excellent, downtempo episode of morcfm.

Morcfm episode 47 - march 6th 2025
|
no big announcements this time - we'll save that for next time. but: that's a nice excuse to play some older stuff we've recently been listening to. so you'll hear songs from every decade from the '80s up to now, and a recordings from 1949. special mention for the elephant micah song: 'wild goose chase' was recorded at vpro in 2010, a few days after he did a show here at morc hq. and for the occasion, he gives a small introduction about the origin of the song. also, turns out we have a dutch section in the program. and there's a shoutout to Zoezoe records, our favorite recordstore of the past few years, which is unfortunately closing its doors this weekend. and that's a crying shame. in most episodes of morc fm, you'll hear at least one record i bought there. in this episode: three. (Diane Renner, My Disco & Ambassade). i hope i won't need to broadcast silence next time...

Morcfm episode 46 - february 6th 2025

One of those episode where we can present a track premiere: the Kroppskännedom lp is out really soon, so you'll hear a track from this one. Since Sofie Herner and David Roeder appear as guests on the album, tought we'd play a track from their solo projects as well - though i don't think we still need to introduce Leda and Nein Rodere? you'll hear a few more regulars in this episode: we just got to see Simon Joyner live and picked up his new album, and we recommend you to go and see Amatorski, if possible. Windy and Carl are here with an excerpt from a track from their latest 2xcd - the song is over 50 minutes long, so that'd be almost a full episode, hence the 'edit'. there's also a confession about Roy Montgomery. We even look back to the already legendary episode from september with Edgar wappenhalter as a co-host. and you'll hear Emmylou Harris and Neil Young, of whom we realized that a 10cd-box really is too much.

Morcfm episode 45 - january 9th 2025
|
this episode goes from clean to dirty. (mostly). three new tracks: we were happy to hear a new dawn smithson track. it's up on her soundcloud, but we thought you might want to hear it here too. little skull has a new 7" out, and that's always good news. the mary currie 7" is also quite fitting for episode 45 (yes, a lazy 45 rpm reference). we're also playing some recent (facit) and old (unwound) morc hq-favorites here that thusfar were overlooked in our show, for no good reason. time to rectify that.
it's worth mentioning that we end with a small selection of french guitarnoise, all because of the excellent compilation 'france noise 90'. which sent us on a trip down memory lane. but the french know what they're doing. and if you listen well, you'll hear a morc-scoop before anyone else does. you'll be thrilled.
