Description
On the title track of his sophomore release, 'There Is No Map', Sam Morrow sings "Well, I didn't learn too much, back when I knew it all," a sentiment that perfectly encapsulates the soulful journey of this promising young American troubadour.
"One of country music's most intriguing voices" - LA Weekly
"Freewheeling, experimental, self-assured... One of the exciting new fixtures in modern Americana." - Emore Magazine
While Ephemeral introduced the world to Morrow's story and sound with a collection of haunting vignettes, his sophomore effort, 'There Is No Map', goes a couple steps further, exploring the joy ride before the hangover.
Infused with an explorer's soul and world-weary eyes, the structure and heart of this album mimic Morrow's own growth as a person and artist.
"(Album producer) Eric Corne and I had a vision, since the end of our last record," Says Morrow, "for this one to be daring. The last album dwelled on the darkness of growing up and running from reality, so I wanted this record to highlight the real adventures I had, and still have. We also wanted this record to be more of an ensemble, with the instrumentation helping to tell more of the story. We got some of our favorite musicians together in the studio for four days total; Matt Tecu on drums, Eamon Ryland on guitar, Ted Russell Kamp playing bass and Sasha Smith on keys.
In the end, there is no map to center of one's soul. It's an existential journey and one that promises to be a landmark for Sam Morrow and anyone willing to listen.
