As promised earlier in the week today's post sees a new recording from the reformed The Morrisons. The band first appeared in the late 1980's receiving airplay from the likes of John Peel. They didn't last too long the first time around but are now recording again with most of the original line-up. This is what Firestation Records say about the compilation, "Songs From The South Of England":
This CD represents EP tracks and demos from 1986-1988, a time when they were picking up John Peel plays. Indeed they fitted very well into the indie-pop scene of the time, and it may be surprising that Sarah never signed them up. A romantically fey jangle, as you might expect, features throughout but on ‘Ask The Lord’ a brittle, broken accordion melancholy occurs as flighty keys parp. On ‘Heaven Help Us Now’, soulful brass raises the bar, while ‘On A Valentine’ has ruffled shirt, velvetine class. There’s a swing to Dexys Midnight Runners at times, but they are certainly still relevant in 2005. Listen to ‘Ramona’ and ‘God Bless’ and you’ll understand why.
The new track "Helen Singer" carries on in the same vein. A laid back twee like and mellow track!
The Morrisons - Helen Singer
The band have also supplied an mp3 of a track recorded live in 1988.

I also reviewed their latest demo EP on SoundsXP earlier this year.
You can download some other tracks from a previous post. An album of rarities is due to be released on Golden Pathway Records later this year.
