Broken stay open sky

"On first listen these songs might seem to ramble, as though set loose to find their own way. But they're carefully and exactingly constructed to reflect Morris' own thought process, to trace his journey from initial question to something like epiphany. To reinforce this thoughtful quality, the musicians concoct a folk sound that is crisp and elaborate, adorned with curlicues of fiddle and shimmering piano chords".

"Picking up the narrative of its deeply introspective predecessor, Broken Stay plays like a logical sequel as Morris continues to chronicle the personal upheaval that began with the sudden death of his father and the great sea change that followed in its wake ... While still intermingled with stabs of life's ever-present sorrow, his door is also open to joy, whimsy, and whatever opportunities the wind might deliver, especially if it involves connecting with the natural world and its inhabitants, both animal and human".
