Here's another long solo piece from Michael Morley, this one titled "Goodbye Forever", and it features no real guitar that I can hear - or maybe I can, I keep listening to it before I fall asleep and it just takes me to dreamland. It's great - a looped stringed instrumental classical piece (it's probably something famous and I just can't recognize it) that devolves into a blur of slowed down sound, drone and reverb. The technique seems similar to Game Changer, just with different source material. If you like The Disintegration Loops this one should be on your list. Morley is hitting all the right notes in 2018.
I keep up with Sunburned only intermittently these days, they seem to be taking a more rock-ist approach lately. Like this one. Each track is about 4-5 minutes of pretty ramshackle, jammy, funky, boogie rock...almost spoiled by the throaty, beery vocals shouted over the top of each one of these tunes with nonsensical platitudes. I almost shut it off after a couple tracks but I stuck it out and kinda came around on some level. I was oddly reminded of My War era Black Flag sludge punk. The band sez "these Holy Grail fueled recordings are a mix of iphone and zoom recordings run through garageband, reaper and some plug-ins. We're still working on the much more listener-friendly Black Dirt session..." and point taken, listener friendly this ain't.
