Morrow by Ghostwriter & Michael Paine
Morrow was originally released on Time Released Sound in 2014 as a limited edition CD.
“near-magical … arguably one of this year’s most transporting and thought-provoking treasures” Delusions of Adequacy
“succeeds wonderfully in creating a pensive atmosphere of genteel peculiarity” Wormwoodiana
“Its music has an innocence and gentility about it …8/10” Norman Records
“… the album’s minimally applied palette of Debussy-esque piano figures, guitars, church organs and found sounds favourably recalls Talk Talk circa Laughing Stock.” Record Collector
