Bio

Morlove is the creative collaboration of Corwin Fox and Miss Emily Brown, both dyed-in-the-wool songwriters and multi-instrumentalists. Just two years old, Morlove is set to release a full-length album in the winter of 2009-2010, recorded in rural, snowy town of Wells, British Columbia. .............................. Best heard through your oldest set of speakers, Morlove is developing an authentic and yet experimental folk sound through the use of acoustic guitar, double bass, banjo, mandolin, flugelhorn and autoharp, as well as found instruments pump organ and sousaphone, and the vintage warmth of a Rhodes piano. Lyrics range in theme from isolation and homelessness to seed technology and urban design, delivered in hushed, layered vocal harmony. ............................. "Morlove is the meeting of minds. Neo-Folk King meets Girl Prodigy. The combination of Victoria’s Corwin Fox and Iroquois, Ontario’s Miss Emily Brown, Morlove is set to release a debut record this winter. Combining mixed media into sound collage, Morlove discovers their tracks by what Emily calls “feeling around.” The music is the kind of thing the kids will put on when they turn out the lights and play games with bottles. It is sweet and playful. And a little bit sad. .............................. The record, “All My Lakes Lay Frozen Over,” is a compendium of songs created by Emily and the Fox through pure experimentation. Guitar duets, flugelhorn, double bass, autoharp, rhodes and old found instruments, including a pump organ and sousaphone, come together to make “All My Lakes” slow and textured, layered with Emily’s slay-me voice. Corwin describes it as “strategically lush and delicate pieces exploring themes of isolation, urban and existential design.” Emily explains it simply: “We arrange the music by repeating it, over and over.” ........................... The result is hushed. Careful. With the help of the Canada Council, Morlove recorded the album in the snowy interior town of Wells, BC, and the album could be an exact likeness to that landscape. The music is thick and lush, reminiscent of amped folk played through an ancient jukebox full of nickels. “We recorded in this small, wooden United Church built in the gold rush of the 1930s,” says Emily. “I think the music that prevails is unhurried and fully-developed, like tea left to steep for a long long time.” - Leah Bailly .......................... Winter 2009-2010, watch for Morlove’s All of My Lakes Lay Frozen Over, home remedy for long winter nights.
