morr & horst kreuzberg start berlin concert series!
In June it is exactly 13 years ago since the first album was released on Morr Music. In other words: 2012 is the year where Morr Music becomes a teenager, and this must of course be celebrated. During the year Morr Music, and the new baby sister, Anost Booking, will host and present a number of birthday events presenting both Morr artists, but also friends and loved ones. Back in 1999 the first contract was signed in May and of course this makes it the perfect month to kick off the events. Morr Music, Anost Booking & Horst Krzbrg is therefore proud to present Sóley & Orcas live in Berlin's Horst Kreuzberg on May, 23th, 9pm. Erik (aka Svarte Greiner/Miasmah) and Monique (running Sonic Pieces) will play some records, too!

please welcome: orcas
Morr Music is more than just happy to announce the signing of ORCAS! Orcas is Benoît Pioulard & Rafael Anton Irisarri: both released pathbreaking solo works on (f.e.) Kranky, Touch and Miasmah! Now they have launched a duo, that sounds like a wedding of ambient music and traditional songform. The abstract nature of the “ambient” genre and instant gratification of the “pop” song require deft hands for successful cohabitation, thus it’s little wonder that there are so few practitioners of its delicate equilibrium. Orcas – comprised of haze-pop auteur Pioulard and post-minimalist composer Irisarri – is an imaginative return to that narrative. Here song and abstraction become one entity, condensing the spaces between to generate an arching trajectory. So if you're into Mark Hollis and the late Talk Talk, The Durutti Column, or the calmer side of Arthur Russell: here you're right!
A first song called "Carrion" is now premiered, you can stream it exclusively via Pitchfork! Orcas will release their debut album on Morr Music in February 2012! We hope you're looking forward to this as much as we do!
