SLW cc Watt and morph

morph – nothing’s real

Similar artists: The Beatles, Tame Impala, Mild High Club, Babe Rainbow, Andy Shauf

Genre: Psychedelic Rock, Lo-fi Rock, Indie Rock

Being relatable is only important to the kind of artists that can’t handle being out of reach from the rest of humanity. If the choice is ever available, by all means, go for the latter! The world is full of average Joes and bursting at the seams with reality. 

Some of the very best art, particularly in music and cinema, is imbued with the sorts of imagery and sounds that can’t be immediately explained, that send the audience to a place that can’t exist anymore or to one that may one day exist. As morph puts it, “If you see it in your eyes, then you’ve made with your mind.”

morph’s “nothing’s real” deals with the otherworldly in the same way that a child approaches life’s great mysteries. The Beatlesque melodies and gently psychedelic production lend themselves perfectly to the music about peeking into all of the things that lie in between the large, unforgiving slabs of reality. 

morph just has to watch it now. This is the kind of art is the sort that folks will insist on transforming into a cult one day. 


SLW cc Watt – Be The Bones

Similar artists: T. Rex, Roky Erickson, The Moldy Peaches, Daniel Johnston

Genre: Lo-fi Rock, Indie Pop

Everyone’s a legend to someone. But can you do it on a cold, rainy night in Stoke? That’s a football expression, of course. It means that in order to be judged as extraordinary, you have to be consistent in your performances and show up even when it’s much nicer to stay in and sip hot tea. 

It’s much the same when it comes to music. Reputation can only get you so far. A famous band logo, for example, will be enough to get a group on a festival bill but not enough to keep people in front of the stage. A famous logo won’t be enough to get people to listen to your new album if it’s not any good. 

SLW cc Watt approaches legendary status before the group has even played a note. But I’m happy to report that “Be The Bones” does sparkle with the gently-psychedelic shimmer of its retro-rock influences. Hooky, laidback, and driven by a bass lick as elastic as freshly chewed bubblegum, it’s easy to fall for SLW cc Watt and its direct, evil Marc Bolan routine.
