BIO
Portland-based rockers, Morrison Graves, navigate the realms of pre-doom and post-psychedelia. Their fuzzy, swirling brand of rock pulls influence from 60's psych/garage, Eastern modes, and indie rock. Zoltar Approved.
Morrison Graves’ debut album, “Division Rising”, released during the pandemic, valiantly tackled themes of gentrification, homelessness, and socio-economic disparity. This album was a collective howl in dark times, garnering an audience and establishing a precedent for the band.
After the World re-opened, Morrison Graves transitioned from a recording project to a live band. Yet, emerging into this new post-pandemic reality, it is evident that normalcy has been shattered and the fragile constructs that society was precariously balanced upon are now nakedly exposed.
In this fraught atmosphere, Morrison Graves has embarked upon recording a new music. Their new songs address themes of tribalism, resource consumption, the global war machine, civil war, death, loss, and hope. There is urgency to address this existential state of dread and to sound the alarm. Firmly grounded in their ethos and distinct point of view, Morrison Graves’ response is to create rather than scream into the void.
