Sam Morton

I love these experimental electronic pop tracks from Samantha Morton (yes, the oscar-nominated actress) and producer Richard Russell for many reasons, not least how bloody good they are.

The collaged music foregrounds what the press release calls “Morton’s mainly autobiographical lyricism” and I particularly appreciate how familiar memories of growing up in Nottingham ooze from this music — “Hyson Green must I roam”.

I’m very glad I took a chance on Morton’s debut and hope for more. Note that it’s vinyl only, and limited to 300 copies. It's sold out on Bandcamp and Boomkat, but still available (at the time of writing) from Rough Trade.
