Artist Information
Biography
Forgotten, an old, manual turntable sits slumbering in an attic, hidden beneath a thick coating of dust. Suddenly, the crackling sound of crumpled cellophane clears the moment. Hands slip a new black vinyl disc out of its cardboard covering and place it on the spindle. What emits from the speakers has the sound of experience enlivened by its interaction with the new and unique.
Austri Morra presents a new record on an old machine. Inspired by both traditional and progressive approaches to music and, especially, the interaction between them, they create songs that are engrossing both intellectually and emotionally. While familiar song structures and melodies are drawn upon, Austri Morra employs them as tools in building an engaging sound that is musically sophisticated. Pursuing this aesthetic they continue to play a variety of venues around the Philadelphia area. Their energetic live shows draw consistently expanding crowds and praise from fans, club owners, studio technicians, and other musical professionals.
