THE DEATH SET + PONYTAIL TOUR!!
05/01/2007
After months of continent-jumping (US to Europe to Australia) The Death Set have finally sorta settled back in the States, acquiring guitarist Matt Papich of Ecstatic Sunshine, where they have been diligently recording a brand new EP due out next month and their first full-length (slated for a fall release).

04/30/2007
Baltimore shoegazers Thrushes have been awarded the CMJ Sonic Bids Spotlight! Despite having released their debut album Sun Come Undone little over a month ago, and in relative obscurity, Thrushes has been basking in a stunning level of fan accolades. The CMJ Spotlight follows flurries of internet attention which culminated, earlier this month, in garnering the distinction of most blogged band of the week (stats breakdown at Idolator). Thrushes is poised to reward their buzzing fanbase with a summer tour: 05/12 - Richmond, VA - The Full Slurpee... More >

SANCTION THIS: A SHORT HISTORY OF COMMUNIST FUNK
04/20/2007
Morphius Distribution is pleased to announce the arrival of the new compilation: Sí, Para Usted: The Funky Beats of Revolutionary Cuba, assembled by radio host Dan Zacks. While we here at Morphius have been thrilled by the slew of excellent funk reissues of late, it is the rare title that bursts with such fascinating history. And rarer still do we come across a compilation that squeaks through years of dust and political sanctions to emerge, not as a mere curiousity or historical footnote, but as a rump-shaking testament to the transcendental power of music...

BEAUTIFUL TAPESTRIES: MORE THOUGHTS ON THRUSHES
04/04/2007
Thrushes premise is strikingly simple. Rock music should be beautiful. Elevating grand canyon reverberation to high art and venerating Phil Spector as the patron saint of sonic emotion, Thrushes craft gorgeous noise pop and swirling dream rock lullabies. Armed with stacks of old Crystals records played at the dark edge of town, this is the sound of blood on blood. ******************************** For the week of March 28 to April 4th, both “Heartbeats” and “Aidan Quinn” from the Thrushes' debut Sun Come Undone were in the Top 35 blogged tracks in the...
