Hi Nicki, how are you? I’m fine thanks! Where did you grow up? I grew up in Barnsley, South Yorkshire, until I was 13. I moved to...
Lasse, how are you? Great thanks, got off a gig late last night into early morning rehearsals, but I’m feeling great! Where did you grow up? In a small town called Kerava, about 30 km from the capital of Finland Helsinki. Nice neighbourhood to spend your childhood in...
Interview Published in the Australian Times on April 22, 2009. Your long awaited debut album is due to hit the shelves in April. Tell us more about it? Recording the album was a really special process...
Today is finally the release date of my debut album I Think We Both Know. I spotted last week that the album found its way onto one of the torrent sites - I actually felt stoked someone liked it enough to want to share it...
The full load of Rush House video clips with a couple of extras chucked in for added ha ha. Listen to I Think We Both Know:
Oblivious - Recording the Guide Track Recording the guide track for Oblivious. Blues baby! Oblivious - Listening and Electric Guitaring You can see Willie here listening to me putting down some electric guitar licks (deluxe edition) from down in the electric guitar den of broken chops...
Some people do vocal warm ups. Some people drink warm honey drinks. Some people get singing lessons. Folks stop all of it. All you need is a white singlet and a can of Old Jamaica Fiery Ginger Beer. The white singlet makes you feel part superhero / part chilled out dad on the weekend...
A quick snip of tracking the acoustic guitar for the track I Think We Both Know. Listen to I Think We Both Know:
Its Ok - Recording the Guide Track Getting the rough guide track down for Its Ok. Each track was done like this - talk through the arrangement, put down a guide version with everyone playing, then get drums and bass down properly, then electric guitars, then smoky late night vocals...
Big House, Big Dan, Big Drum Sound The mythical acoustic properties of Rush House well and truly extend to the magical staircase of huge drum sounds. This is Dan laying a little wood into his skins. Look at the way he moves. Poetry in motion...
The Sun - It Goes A Little Something Like This… The Sun is a track I wrote just before we went away to record the album. I knew I wanted it to be simple lyrically and was really depending on the boys to help create a real musical mood / wall of sound / rock opera. Maybe not a rock opera...
Driving to Rush House On the way up the M6 to start the recording. We’re in a Ka. No wonder we’re so excited. Setting Up The ‘Studio’ at Rush House Intense discussions about where to put what and who for maximum recording effect in Rush House...
The Little Light EP, which we released to a warm fuzzy reception back in 2007, is now available as a free download from the store. Funnily enough quite a few copies got sold and lots of folks said very nice things about it...
Wow. More seriously kind words on the album. As I’m a year older this week I really appreciate the point about being mature beyond my years...
I’ve been a little busting for everyone to hear the tracks from the album. The problem with having a release date and schedule is that you have the music ready to go and you’re just waiting for promotion and boring stuff to happen. Its very boring...
“…the time and effort he has put into this craft shines through on this accomplished and mature singer / songwritery thing...
“When we first heard Kris Morris’ ‘Little Light EP’ we thought we’d found an artist with potential. That was back in 2007 and whilst it’s taken a while for his debut album to follow, it has proved us right. The acoustic guitar can be raw and powerful, rock out and become intimate...
Thanks to Frank Hennesy for being first in to play some tracks from I Think We Both Know on his BBC Radio Wales program, Celtic Heartbeats. He played the tracks The Sun and the new improved album version of Otherside - sandwiched between all sorts of lilting Celtic type stuff...
I was very privileged to get to the Ryan Adams gig in Newtown last night. I have to admit to being a bit of a half-hearted fan of the guy in the past. I appreciate his way with a song for sure but I find myself skipping through his albums...
RECENT ACTIVITY
Just in case you missed it just before leaving London the master for my debut album I Think We Both Know was delivered into my eager little hands. Every time I’ve listened to it its taken me straight back to Rush House...
Getting back to Oz I’ve been keen to see whats cooking on the music front. I really haven’t done as much as I would have liked but I have had the chance to catch Mike play in Newcastle, have a coffee with him, and totally fall in love with his album The Harrowing Account of John William Tate...
There’s been lots of movement since my last post. As most of you know we’d been in London for seven years and we were feeling the itch to get home. While we were at it we figured we’d hit the USA on the way - see the sights and delights and make a bit of an adventure of it all...
Kris Morris wow - what a crazy week last week as went away and threw ourselves into making an album. and not just any album - my first full length solo album. i'll be chucking some pics and video bits up soon. i think you gonna like it...a lot. its amazing. spine tingling. beautiful. big. close. and its just taking shape. i'm a bit excited.
