Description
Morphine – Yes – Cassette
Morphine was an American alternative rock band known for their distinctive sound blending rock, jazz, and blues elements. Some of their notable albums include “Cure for Pain,” “Good,” and “The Night.” These albums showcase the band’s moody and seductive sound, characterized by Mark Sandman’s deep, smoky vocals and the band’s minimalist instrumentation.
Yes is an album by the American alternative rock band Morphine. Morphine was known for their unique and distinctive sound, often characterized as low rock due to their use of baritone saxophone, two-string bass guitar, and drums.
Morphine’s music is often described as a blend of alternative rock, jazz, blues, and other influences, creating a style that was both dark and alluring. Their albums have been celebrated for their originality and the band’s ability to create a unique musical atmosphere.
Morphine’s third release, offers Sandman’s sleekest, most consistent songwriting efforts to date, and the band has never sounded so inviting.
Morphine is as close as alternative rock comes to jazz. It’s swinging bass lines sound impossibly low, complete with a rain-like drum beat and smoking sax lines. What sets Morphine’s rich tones apart from swank background music is Sandman’s highly physical lyrical angle.
In the dizzying “Whisper,” when Sandman soothes “Don’t worry I’m not looking at you/Gorgeous and dressed in blue,” you can see the color. When he croons, “Just whisper me your number/I’ll call you up at home,” you’ve already mouthed the words. Sandman knows where he’s aiming, and, at it’s best, Morphine recalls the jazzy excitement of rock’s lushest moments.
