morcfm episode 56 is online.
We've probably been overthinking this episode: you'll hear a lot of songs/artists that we've been thinking of playing for a bit longer, but for some reason we never did. so this episode is probably a bit more eclectic than usual.

new episode of morcfm, episode 55, up for your enjoyment over at www.morctapes.com/morcfm. including the sweet sounds of ao @jessicabailiff.bsky.social , and an announcement for a show that already happened by now. most importantly: an unreleased puddle parade track!

thanks for listening.
We didn't play that much pop music in the most recent episodes. to make up for that: we're starting of with some poptunes, the rest of the episode is a bit more all over the place. eg: we tested our new tapedeck with a spare copy of an old gang wizard release that we accidentally got hold of. dead c worship at its best. we don't know why we never played our favorite The Debts song before, so we rectified that. other recent releases we're highlighting: burger service, juho toivonen, and miradasvacas. and we're a bit late in picking up the latest releases by benjamin franklin and goldblum, but we're glad we did. unreleased track: there's part of a looooong unreleased puddle parade track in here as well. it took ellen long to finish, so no doubt you're excited to finally hear it. records, tapes, cd's, old and new: we like all of them. (mp3's not pictured) 1. Anna Domino - Land of my dreams (from the lp/2xcd 'East and West', les disques du crepuscule, 1984/2020) 2. Flaming tunes - Restless mind (from the lp 'Flaming Tunes', Superior Viaduct, 1985) 3. Burger Service - Oude stad (from the tape 'Hart voor de zaak', RDSR, 2025) 4. Kroppskännedom - Mitt Extatiska Förakt (from the lp 'Kroppskännedom', Morc records, 2025) 5. Gang Wizard - --------- (from the tape 'Meet me at merkato', Morc records, 2001) 6. Benjamin Franklin - The river (from the tape 'Aventures', Frissons Cassettes, 2024) 7. Juho Toivonen - Kaste Maalasi Sydaämen (from the lp 'Lapsikuninkaan Fanfaari', Discreet music, 2025) 8. Miradasvacas - St. Alban (from the lp 'En perpetua', South of north, 2025) 9. The Puddle Parade - Forust (edit) (unreleased) 10. PJ Harvey - Broken Harp (demo) (from the cd/lp 'White Chalk (demos)', Island, 2021) 11. Jessica Bailiff - Big Hill (from the cd/lp 'Jessica Bailiff', Kranky, 2002) 12. The Debts - Rock county (from the tape 'Blue Summer', Unread, 2013) 13. Goldblum - Strings Attached (from the lp 'Tears in Limbo', Bergpolder, 2024)

It's Psychedelic Baby Magazine asked soccer Committee about some of her favorites, obvious and less obvious. that goes from Louis Neefs to Scout Niblett, with detours via the work of Loren Conners, Waste and Gunther Kallmann-Chor.

soccer Committee has a new album out today- with 'Eye', Mariska gifted us her most layered work yet, whilst keeping true to her spartan sound.

high quality German vinyl, full colour sleeve with a downloadcoupon. for sale for 18 euro + shipping.

--> more info/images: www.morctapes.com/eye.html
Mariska Baars, aka soccer Committee is a force to be reckoned with: whoever heard one of her albums, or was lucky enough to see her live, knows that no one masters the art of peeling away every unnecessary layer of a song like she does. From the very first notes of 'Eye, it’s clear that Baars is at the peak of her powers. The most traditional songs here remind us why we fell for her songwriting in the first place: they’re delicately strong and quietly fierce. Other pieces showcase her mastery in manipulating texture and silence - even more than ever. Throughout 'Eye', she's evoking an atmosphere so hushed you lean in, afraid to miss a single detail. Baars weaves it all together in a way that only she can, crafting a listening experience that holds you in its spell from start to finish.

i've said it before, and i'll say it again: the most fun radioshows to make are the ones i which i can announce something. and we have two things to announce here on morcfm!

--> listen via www.morctapes.com/morcfm
first, there's the soccer Committee lp 'eye' coming up next week. you'll hear 'pretty little foxes' as the starter of this episode. already one of my very favorite soccer Committee tracks. And we have an upcoming show to announce: Kroppskännedom is coming to belgium for the first time, incl. a show in Ghent on october 17th. yes! to top it off: Berlinde Deman wil be playing that evening too. not suprisingly: we played her music here on morcfm before. Plenty of other new and old favorites in this episode as well though. we're playing a few things related to our trip to Wales this summer, fill in a (huge!) gap in our Roy Montgomery collection, notice that you really can never say 'now i have enough Brannten Schnüre', and get excited about Frankie Traandruppel's new lp. and we say some nice things about great recordstores. probably one of the more coherent editions of morcfm, really. * soccer Committee - Pretty little foxes (from the lp 'Eye', Morc records, 2025) * Berlinde Deman - Hungry Mouth tree (from the dl 'Hungry mouth tree', Hinah, 2020) * Kroppskännedom - Sluta (from the lp 'Kroppskännedom', Morc records, 2025) * Milkweed - The tree as a kinship symbol (from the tape 'Folklore 1979', self-released, 2024) * Suzanne Vega - Left of center (from the cd 'Retrospective: the best of', A&M, 1986/2003) * Six organs of admittance - Blue sun chiming (from the cd 'Dust & Chimes', Holy mountain, 1999/2000) * Roy Montgomery - Some footage of dancing that no-one else saw (from the 2lp 'Camera Melancholia', Grapefruit, 2022) * Treasury of puppies - Sapfo livin (from the lp 'Treasury of puppies', Digital Regress, 2020/2022) * Nostalgie Eternelle - A victory smile (from the lp 'at that time', Infinite expanse, 1989/2025) * Frankie Traandruppel - Crying shame (from the lp 'Translation is key', Singularity records/Good times rock n roll club, 2025) * Kyra - Die wonderlijke dag (from the lp 'Here i am, i always am', Damaged goods, 1998/2023) * Balint Brösel & Brannten Schnüre - Disco (from the lp 'Gespensterland', Bureau B, 2023) * Arianne Churchman & Benedict Drew - Portal emerges to a world reversed (from the lp 'The tree of the left hand', Folklore, 2025)

mark oct 17th in your agenda and book a trip to Ghent. we're setting up a show of Kroppskännedom and Berlinde Deman.

Info/reservations: www.morctaped.com/live
Andreas is doing his first Kroppskannedom-shows outside of Sweden, and of course Ghent is a stop. we've put out his debut lp earlier this year: slow, repetitive songs that bring a vague rock-ish approach to the abstract soundcollages that he's an expert in creating. hearing=believing. And Berlinde brings her even more ambientesque melodies, performed on serpent (an ancestor of the tuba) and effects. moody, trippy and slow - she's releasing her solo cd shortly after the show, so here's a chance to get a sneak preview.

the past weeks, we ran out of quite a few titles. so we did an effort, and managed to restock a handful of copies - new and unplayed, in perfect condition. 1-4 copies of each, so i'm only putting these up on bandcamp. first come, first served.

--> morctapes.bandcamp.com/merch
- Roxane Métayer: Éclipse des ocelles - Roxane Métayer/Pefkin: split lp - Linus Vandewolken: Oude Geuze uit Niemandaal - Edgar Wappenhalter: IJsschots Veenlaag Mist 18 euro each, or pick 3 lps for 50 euro. (yes, it's possible to combine these with the upcoming soccer Committee lp, which i fully recommend!)

another summer episode of morcfm - due to deadlines, we had to record this before leaving on a holiday, and had to 'rush' it a little. so: less talking here - just a bit in the beginning, and more at the end.

Dany Lademacher died. The man had quite an important role in what is probably the funniest and saddest music documentaire i've seen the past decade. 'buying the band', about a millionaire bringing 'the wild romance' together after the death of Herman Brood.

sad news: our distributor Clear Spot was declared bankrupt. a shame: the people there (esp. Rene and Hans) have always been very supportive. they made it a lot easier to get morc-releases in stores worldwide. they're hardworking, reliable people with a deep love of great music. sad to see them go.

suprised to see someone digitized the Zent One tape from 2000. 'Mummer' was morc #12. These were the very first recordings by the duo of Olivier and Annelies - and @anneliesmonsere.bsky.social 's very first release. it's pretty obvious who wrote what: guitarsongs by oliver, pianosongs by annelies.
