Sounds | Morganway, Let Me Go


Fleetwood Mac blaast geleidelijk aan hun laatste adem uit terwijl Morganway klaar staan de fakkel over te nemen. Goed in het oor liggende '70s West Coast Rock/Americana met een stel ballen, geïnspireerd door Mac, Eagles, Tom Petty,... We horen de violen lekker naast slide gitaar en poppy melodieën in de lead single van hun debuut album. Om helemaal blij van te worden op deze zomerse dag.

Het titelloze debuut verschijnt op 2 augustus.

Morganway are a six-piece from East Anglia founded by twin brothers Callum (vocals, guitar, bass) and Kieran Morgan (lead guitar, backing vocals). Throughout their early years the boys played in various bands but struggled to find a box to fit into. Too rock for folk, too pop for indie, too indie for country, or so it seemed. Choosing to follow their instincts rather than convention, they became Morganway and suddenly people started listening. Joined by SJ Mortimer (vocals), Nicole Terry (fiddle), Matthew Brocklehurst (keys) and Ed Bullinger (drums), the band has developed a sound built on a love for multi-layered vocal harmonies, driven guitar riffs and distinctive fiddle flourishes, bound by raw, honest songwriting. They've built this into a live show that in one moment is classic rock and the next mystical folk, catching the attention of Whispering Bob Harris and many others in the rising British Americana scene. Their collective obsession with ‘70s West Coast rock is also met with a love of Brit Rock, folk and modern Americana.BBC Introducing Session1/6
