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!

Old Tomorrow Review in Globe and Mail
May 17, 2013

Great review of Old Tomorrow in Toronto’s Globe and Mail!

FOLK – Morlove – Old Tomorrow

Do we really need to know that this curious, gorgeous album of orchestral roots styles was recorded in a geodesic dome on B.C.’s Quadra Island? Maybe. And that the songs were inspired by the study of lunar cycles and knitting patterns? I think that’s good info. We’re talking about structure – the seemingly lightweight constructions of Corwin Fox and Emily Millard, who plaintively offer songs on shapes meeting (The Roots of Love )

Do we really need to know that this curious, gorgeous album of orchestral roots styles was recorded in a geodesic dome on B.C.’s Quadra Island? Maybe. And that the songs were inspired by the study of lunar cycles and knitting patterns? I think that’s good info. We’re talking about structure – the seemingly lightweight constructions of Corwin Fox and Emily Millard, who plaintively offer songs on shapes meeting (The Roots of Love )

and on John A. Macdonald and nation-tying (the calmly plucked waltz Old Tomorrow). This is music craft of honeycomb strength, on weaves and waves, rhythms and harmonies, architecture and human destinies – “spinning substance out of nothingness.” And yes, it all comes together in the end. – B.W.

Exclaim! Folk & Country reviews Old Tomorrow:

Likely the only album you’re going to hear all year recorded in a geodesic dome, Morlove’s second full-length, Old Tomorrow, is a densely packed effort that reveals itself with careful, repeated listens. The record approaches the theme of patterns with delicate inquisitiveness and quiet daring. Songwriters Corwin Fox and Miss Emily Brown have created a set of songs that touches upon a variety of ideas and feelings,

staying within the unified vision of the album. Lyrically, the tracks reveal maturity and depth, as on aching relationship study "Skeleton," where Fox does the near-impossible and sums up a common problem many have in one fell swoop, singing, "Every time, I struggle with the clash between devotion and autonomy." It's just one of the many arresting moments to be found here. Not to be outdone, Emily Brown's voice is a mercurial weapon — the perfect complement to Fox's earthy delivery. Check out the soaring "Architect" for some of Brown's loveliest vocals. Built upon the weaving pattern of Fox's traditional Scottish family tartan, the song hints at a groove just underneath the surface. Pumped full of evocative sounds by violinist Hannah Epperson and cellist Christina Zaenker, it's a high point on a record full of them. - Blake Morneau
