Formed over a decade ago by Morphine saxophonist Dana Colley with singer and multi-instrumentalist Jeremy Lyons, and Morphine's original drummer Jerome Deupree, the group now includes drummer Tom Arey (J. Geils Band, Peter Wolfe's Midnight Ramblers, Ghosts of Jupiter). Their latest album, \u003ci\u003eFear and Fantasy\u003c\/i\u003e (featuring both drummers), comes out on Schnitzel Records in a combined 180 gram coloured marbled vinyl \/ CD audiophile package. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVapors of Morphine honours Mark Sandman's legacy by blazing musical paths in new directions. A restless spirit, Sandman headed several bands in different styles, some of which shine through Vapors. The influence of Southern American music is heard in Lyons's swamp-tinged treatment of traditional songs. Colley's processed saxophone - testing the upper limits of low rock and blurring the line between wind instrument and electric guitar - continues the Morphine tradition of sonic exploration. And the group's arrangements of African guitar music bring to mind the variety of world music one experiences walking around the multicultural Central Square, Cambridge, where there is a corner named for Mark Sandman. Their new album \u003ci\u003eFear and Fantasy\u003c\/i\u003e represents both a new era and a return to form for Vapors. There are new songs and sounds, including a lot of guitar and Colley's electric \"low sax,\" but also the familiar rumble of two-string, slide bass. In its often-lush arrangement, it recalls Morphine's final album,\u003ci\u003e The Night\u003c\/i\u003e, where Deupree teamed up with Billy Conway, the drummer who had replaced him; this time Arey plays on one side, Deupree on the other. It only seems fitting when both bands have been blessed with a revolving cast of top-notch percussionists. Contrary to the obvious misconception, Morphine was named for the ancient Greek dream deity Morpheus, not for the drug. But the Vapors of Morphine experience is an alleviation that can take you places people only visit in dreams. Nevertheless, Vapors of Morphine music might be pulling the listener deeper and deeper into that hazy state between consciousness and unconsciousness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Schnitzel","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50411516854603,"sku":"1129547","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/404daf02-1b58-42da-bca4-463241783bfa_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726659432"},{"product_id":"fist-full-of-devils","title":"Fist Full Of Devils","description":"\u003cp\u003eGuitarist \u003cstrong\u003eEarl Slick\u003c\/strong\u003e never had a Plan B.

Benson had just finished his well- received seventh album, \u003ci\u003eDear Life\u003c\/i\u003e in 2019 when his world came to a stop. \"I was rehearsing for South-By-Southwest and gearing up for a tour and had a band ready and then, of course, the world shut down,\" he said in a recent interview. The lockdown then began to reroute lives, societies and ambitions worldwide. \"Everything changed,\" Benson said. \"I went to work on some songs so I'd have new material when things opened up.\" Over months with minimal interactions, those songs coalesced and took on lives of their own, he said. Two years of semi-isolation, of fading relationships, of the natural inward turn that comes with less human contact unexpectedly pushed Benson's song-writing into new places.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Instead of being an afterthought, Benson's solitude evolved into, \u003ci\u003eLow Key\u003c\/i\u003e the eighth album by the idiosyncratic songwriter who has enjoyed both world-wide popularity with the Raconteurs and a devoted cult following for his numerous solo projects. \u003ci\u003eLow Key\u003c\/i\u003e, the Nashville-based artist said, was his chance to explore how lives and relationships changed during the lengthy isolation from the normal interactions of everyday life. Benson might not have written songs such as \"People Grow Apart\" and \"Whole Lotta Nothing\" prior to 2019, he said.  \"The lockdown afforded people the opportunity to cut ties - or maybe it caused people to do that,\" he said. \"Whatever the case may be, a lot of people fell out. But then relationships ending is one of my favourite topics for song writing,\" he said with a laugh. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis isn't to say that the 8-track effort recorded in Benson's own Readymade Studio in Nashville is a grim look at the state of human condition. Just the opposite. The catchy, upbeat lead track \"Ain't No Good,\" pokes fun at destructive self-absorption while the guitar-heavy \"Whatever's On My Mind\" skewers Benson's own hyperkinetic, stream-of-consciousness thinking. And then there's the most unlikely track of all: A cover of Gerry Rafferty's smooth 1978 hit, \"Right Down the Line.\"  The cover was suggested by a friend.  \"She's always been saying I should do that song. I don't normally pay attention when people say that stuff. But then I happened to hear it one day and I said, 'Dang. This is good.' \" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGreg Calbi, the album's mastering engineer at Sterling Sound says: \"Brendan combines the classic 80's style song-writing in the Squeeze, Crowded House vein with some incredible contemporary sonic magic, the kind of album which entices the listener to get tickets to a live show immediately.\" The lockdown that left him mostly with himself, professionally speaking. Confined to his Nashville studio, Benson played every instrument on Low Key and handled all of the initial production. The end result was exactly what Benson had been searching for - even if he didn't know it at the time. Those years spent honing his craft as a songwriter, producer and touring musician, turned what could have been a liability of isolation into something far deeper, a body of work he described as the best of his career.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Schnitzel","offers":[{"title":"Clear | LP","offer_id":50460576710987,"sku":"2000372","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/image003_34c3c2dc_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727234703"},{"product_id":"hello-fire","title":"Hello = Fire","description":"\u003cp\u003e2009 solo project from Dean Fertita of Queens Of The Stone Age, with guest appearances by band members from Queens of the Stone Age (Joey Castillo, Troy Van Leeuwen, Michael Shuman) plus Brendan Benson (Raconteurs) who also produced the album and The Afghan Whigs drummer Michael Horrigan.
