Morpho Season [LP] (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

Chicago-based guitarist, Kristyn Chapman releases her debut EP as Morpho, titled Morpho Season, on Hit the North Records. The record was mixed by Slow Pulp 's Henry Stoehr, mastered by Greg Obis of Stuck, and co-produced by Kristyn alongside Alex Burns, Will Erickson, and Joey Lemon. While Morpho is Kristyn's main project, she previously cut her teeth in multiple bands around Chicago, including recording and touring nationally in Waltzer. Out of this came her collaboration with Kelly Hannemann (Aunt Kelly) and Sarah Weddle (Sarah Weddle, bnny), who fill out the sonic picture of the record with bass and drums, respectively. This integration with the larger Chicago scene and a penchant for touring bleed into the Morpho sound. There's a grittiness tucked into the corners of Morpho Season, a sound dragged from the road that is nestled in the grooves of this record; all bruised guitar and surly tones. Musically, it pulls from the likes of Great Grandpa, Wand, The Smashing Pumpkins and Soccer Mommy.
