drekka - collected works volume 1
 

last update: november 24th 2009

drekka just released 'collected works vol. 1' a 2cd that -as the name suggests- collects his very first output. These first recordings capture the grief of loss, the hope of love, the sounds of a vast empty New England house and a cramped, but cozy apartment in Chicago. this gem is available now - just 10 euro for a double cd, housed in a stylish carboard jacket and accompanied by a 24 page handbound booklet. interested? contact us!
alasdair robertsthanks to all of you who showed up on monday oct 12th, we're forthis last minute houseshow at morc hq - the first one in over a year. we were extremely happy to welcome alasdair roberts - and see him do an amazing mix of new material and traditionals. if you havent heard it yet: we can fully recommend his newest album 'spoils', which was released by drag city earlier this year. - and while you're at it: try to get to hear something by bonjour didier mairy! as well, who opened that night with a very retro lofi set. excellent!
good reviews are rolling in about: origami by the puddle parade. make sure to get a copy of this surprising CD by a German musician living in Utrecht, containing 35 minutes of very minimal, hissy and adventurous popsongs. Her influences range from experimental analogue electronics to mid-nineties lo-fi, with melodic sound-sketches put together as an audio-notebook. For fans of f.i. Colleen, Lau Nau, Mt. Eerie, Vollmar, Iditarod, Machinefabriek, Tara Jane O'Neil, or anything on Morc Records really. you can listen to a track on her page.
annelies monseré: somewhere someone 7" ep
our other recent releases?

- morc 49: annelies monseré: somewhere someone 7"
her first 'official' solo-output since 2005 -after collabs with ao jessica bailiff and birch book. pretty much focussing on organ sounds and harmonics, in her unique style: scarce, minimal and haunting tracks. Somewehere Someone is probably more dark and droning than previous works. ltd to 185 copies, comes in handwritten and handstamped sleeves.
6 tracks for 6 euro...

a few morc-related artists have recently put out albums on other labels. most notably:

- annelies monsere: marit (cd on auetic)
her long expected follow-up of Helder. you might recognize two tracks from the ep she recorded with jessica bailiff. we have some copies in stock of this item - for just 10 euro, as well as her previous releases on morc.

- vlor: six winged (cd on silber media)
a drone bigband feat remora, jessica bailiff, annelies monseré... try to recognize the contributions by your favorites! we also stock this one - for just 10 euro.

- drekka: ancestral caveman sequence (tape on digitalis)
based on an improv from 2008. quite different from the 2cd on morc, but also a treat.

- machinefabriek: lots of stuff
off course, the past few months brought us a whole bunch of new releases by this soccer committee-collaborator. most notably are: the cd/lp with peter broderick on Fang Bom and the cd with Tim Catlin on Low Point.

- holy sons: criminals return (cd on important)
emil amos' second full length cd this year. besides holy sons, he's also working in Om and Grails. his 10" on morc is unfortunately long gone.

as mentioned, we stock the annelies monseré and vlor releases. for the other ones: just ask, and we can tell you where to get them.
