Description

Vapors Of Morphine (ft. Dana Colley of Morphine) continues the low-rock legacy of the classic Boston band. Micromassé opens the show. Vapors Of Morphine was formed over a decade ago by Colley, singer and multi-instrumentalist Jeremy Lyons and Morphine’s original drummer Jerome Deupree. Drummer Tom Arey (J. Geils Band, Peter Wolfe’s Midnight Ramblers, Ghosts of Jupiter) replaced Deupree in 2019. Their new album, Fear & Fantasy, represents both a new era and a return to form for Vapors of Morphine. Fear & Fantasy, in its often lush arrangement, recalls Morphine’s final album, The Night, where Deupree teamed up with Billy Conway, the drummer who had replaced him; this time Arey plays on one side, Deupree on the other. It only seems fitting when both bands have been blessed with a revolving cast of top-notch percussionists. Fear & Fantasy is available for direct order from the UK here, as a limited edition 180 gram marbled colour gatefold LP, plus CD. It is distributed in the US by Cobraside and can be ordered through many retail outlets. The band is currently on tour in support of the new record.

Inspired by the great jazz organ groups of the fifties and sixties, Micromassé also draws from traditional and contemporary African and Latin music. For more info please visit: micromasse.com
