Morpho Season
(Hit the North Records)
3/5
Chicago-based guitarist Kristyn Chapman, also known as Morpho, releases her debut EP Morpho Season—a blend of alt-rock and soft lyrics—on November 15.
The EP is great to listen to when walking through nature or when sitting on a beach. Songs feature beautiful poetic lyrics and soft instrumentals, and her voice is soft-spoken, setting a certain type of mood as soon as you put the first song, “Prism,” on. It’s reminiscent of older Silversun Pickups and a little bit of Metric.
The beats in Morpho Season are very understated, and lead mostly with the guitar, with a little snare coming through. It sounds like she does prioritize the vocals and the guitar.
In short, Morpho to me is cozy rainy-day rock.
