   About The R.G.Morrison
Thank you for visiting my page.

Drop past Drift Records. we're pretty awesome.

My Album "Learning About Loathing" is out in selected good indie shops and websites, plus some less special people on ebay. it can be downloaded also from itunes et al, and the following nice things were said.

I have just finished recording a second album called 'Farewell, My Lovely' and i'll post some songs soon on this very page.

"Raw and vital"
-
Wire Magazine

Morrison piles brave, cinematic folk music that is as heartfelt as it is huggable"
- PlanB

"It's the overall sincerity and confidence that make it a worthy listen."
- FutureMusic Magazine

"marries Satie-like piano figures with wistful graveside meditations"
- Mojo

"It has the bewildering charm of Nick Drake and the lovely gathering darkness of Bonny Prince Billy"
– SubbaCulture

"It takes puritan blisters and serious self-control to maintain this sort of melodic hush."
- Pitchforkmedia

"Recalls that of Nick Drake, Elliot Smith and Nick Cave and like the aforementioned contains great songs treated exquisitely by accomplished artists. the debut release from both the band and their label, drift collective, are names to watch out for in 2007."
- Rough Trade Shops

Hello.

I'm the "groupie" who came and said hello after your recent Glasgow showcase. Just thought I'd reiterate how much I appreciated all three acts.

The Aberdeen show was particularly special!

The review is right here:
