Andrew Morgan's Please Kid, Remember picks up where dreaming debut Misadventures in Radiology leaves off. The second installment in the Kansas City-born songwriter's "Exile Trilogy," "Andrew Morgan" evokes cornerstone chamber pop albums like The Zombies' Odessey & Oracle and Badly Drawn Boy's The Hour of the Bewilderbeast, yet bears a scope of arrangement and diversity of instrumentation all its own. A sense of wonder unifies the album's 17 tracks, which find a kindred spirit as much in mid-20th century Disney animated features as in the magical realism of Magritte, Jean-Pierre Jeunet, and The Clientele. Brought to life by a cast of 33 from October 1999 - May 2008 in 11 cities across 7 states and 2 countries, Please Kid, Remember is a collection that is at once familiar and thrillingly foreign-- a thread of pop classicism that, while schooled in tradition, celebrates imagination above all.
Hi Andrew. Hope you're doing swell. Great to hear you on the radio the other night. If you get some free time, listen to my new track on my myspace - 'Getting High With The Postman'. Your friend, Patrick.
