Born around the campfire at Artswells Festival 2007 in Wells BC, Morlove began as the banding together of Corwin Fox and Miss Emily Brown. The creative collaboration has since expanded into an exploratory orchestral folk band featuring string players Hannah Epperson (violin), Christina Zaenker (cello) and frequent contributors Jake Jenne (drums) and Neil Burnett (Celtic harp). The band is currently preparing their upcoming release Old Tomorrow, based on the theme of pattern. String parts follow ballroom dance steps, chord changes adhere to weaving patterns and lyrics explore recurrences in urban design, genetic inheritance and traditional folk legends.
The album comes as a follow-up to Morlove’s debut album All of My Lakes Lay Frozen Over, put forward for the 2010 Polaris Prize. A collection of evocative folk-songs, All of My Lakes ranges from hushed vocal harmonies and delicate strings to explosions of horns, pulsing pianos and choirs of banjos in unorthodox time signatures. Recorded in snowy Wells BC, the album features several relics of the 1930’s gold-rush town: sousaphone, player piano, pump organ and even a typewriter.
“A symphony of restraint.”
—David Newberry
“All told, there’s a unique depth to Morlove’s debut record, which sidles up to the edge of the unknown abyss, with its palm safely grasping the handrail.”
—Vish Khanna, Exclaim!

We had an incredible time making music, making incredible food and going on epic adventures to the lakes and trees. It all ended in a dance party. Joining us was Manjinder Benning on tablas, cajon and dilruba as well as Mike Millard who was capturing it all on film. Thanks to Orion, John and Lilith, our generous hosts.
