Demo Review


The Morrisons The Psycho Surfin Sampler


Article written by Tom B
Feb 22, 2005.

The Morrisons first surfaced in 1987 when the late John Peel gave their debut "flexi" single airplay. They didn't last long, disbanding in 1988. A track, "Listen To Your Heart", later surfaced on a volume of the cult indie compilation series "The Sound Of Leamington Spa". Now three members of the original lineup have re-appeared with this demo EP, no doubt on the back of the Firestation records compilation of their previous era material, "Songs From The South Of England", which was released last year. And it's not bad.

The songs all have elements of Beach Boys inspired lo-fi pop. There are also hints of the other musical projects the band are also involved in namely the folky, almost Aberfeldy-ish hooks found on "This Life" and "Hear She's Begun". Not surprising, as some of the band members are involved in the South Devon Folk scene. However they are best when they return to their "indie" roots. "Southband Train" captures these perfectly but it's "Arrow In Your Heart", complete with it's sarah-esque title, which is the stand out track on the EP, soaring away to its heart's, no pun intended, content.

Welcome back!

The EP is an unmastered selection of tracks that will appear on an album release due out later this year on Golden Pathway. In the meantime you can download Southbound Train, as well as another new track "Town After Town", from http://www.indie-mp3.co.uk/blog/2005/01/morrisons.html.
