Morley, Michael
Pushed Streets
While he largely made a name for himself as a maverick of primitive electric guitar and electronics in The Dead C and Gate, Morley's love of song form has never been far from the surface. In recent years, chance discoveries of Spanish and classical guitar records proved to be a revelation. These records, largely recorded in the 1950s and '60s, began to shift Morley's work and lead him to piece together a new musical language from elements completely removed from the rock and avant-garde underground from which he first emerged. Featuring a stunning alchemy of Spanish and classical influences with Morley's formative work avant garde work, 'Pushed Streets' exists in its own hauntingly desolate realm.
