VAPORS OF MORPHINE
100 Club, W1D 1LL , [Venue Details]Baba Yaga’s Hut presents…
Vapors of Morphine are a power trio featuring electric baritone sax, drums, and 2 string slide bass (often guitar).
Baritone saxophonist Dana Colley is the through-line between Vapors and “low rock” pioneers Morphine, whose leader Mark Sandman left this earth while performing onstage in Italy in 1999. Vapors of Morphine perform much of the Morphine repertoire, plus new material and original versions of selective covers. They expand on the ethereal, hypnotic sounds popularised by the group in the nineties, and dig into their influences, from African music to delta Blues.
The group was formed over a decade ago by Dana Colley, singer and multi-instrumentalist Jeremy Lyons and Morphine’s original drummer Jerome Deupree. Drummer Tom Arey (J. Geils Band, Peter Wolfe’s Midnight Ramblers, Ghosts of Jupiter) replaced Deupree in 2019.
Their latest album, Fear & Fantasy, represents both a new era and a return to form for Vapors of Morphine. In its often lush arrangement, recalls Morphine’s final album, The Night, where Deupree teamed up with Billy Conway, the drummer who had replaced him; this time Arey plays on one side, Deupree on the other. It only seems fitting when both bands have been blessed with a revolving cast of top-notch percussionists.
