Our Take

The Morlocks' latest album, "Play Chess," is a rollicking and raucous affair that hits all the right notes. This garage rock band from California has been making music for decades, and it shows in the tight, energetic performances on this record.

From the opening track, "I Need You," it's clear that the Morlocks are here to have a good time. The driving drums and fuzzy guitars set the tone for the rest of the album, which is filled with catchy hooks and infectious melodies.

Tracks like "Time to Move" and "Bye Bye Baby" showcase the band's knack for blending 60s garage rock with a modern sensibility, creating a sound that is both nostalgic and fresh.

Lead vocalist Leighton Koizumi's gritty vocals are a perfect match for the band's raw, punk-influenced sound, adding an extra layer of authenticity to the overall vibe of the album.

Overall, "Play Chess" is a fun and addictive listen that will have you tapping your feet and singing along in no time. The Morlocks may not be reinventing the wheel with this album, but they certainly know how to put their own spin on classic garage rock. So, grab a pint, turn up the volume, and let the Morlocks take you on a wild, rock 'n' roll ride. Cheers!

About the artist

The Morlocks

At first glance, MORLOCKS seem like your typical indie-pop band: catchy hooks, dreamy vocals, and meticulous production. But don't be fooled by their charming facade - this quartet is anything but ordinary. Formed in the underground music scene of East London, MORLOCKS quickly made a name for themselves with their genre-defying sound and electrifying live performances. Drawing inspiration from a wide array of influences, from 80s synth-pop to modern R&B, they effortlessly blend these elements to create something truly unique. Lead singer Charlie's velvety voice is the driving force behind the band's music, soaring effortlessly over the intricate instrumentation provided by guitarist Max, bassist Jess, and drummer Dan. Together, they create a sonic landscape that is at once nostalgic and cutting-edge. But what sets MORLOCKS apart from their peers is their quirky sense of humour and willingness to push boundaries. Their lyrics are often witty and sardonic, touching on topics ranging from heartbreak to existential dread with a tongue-in-cheek attitude that keeps listeners on their toes. With a string of successful singles under their belt and a growing fanbase, MORLOCKS are poised to take the music world by storm. So next time you're in the mood for something a bit off-kilter, give MORLOCKS a listen - you won't be disappointed.
