Twinetime is here! The The Morocco Gifts release a grand new collection of hypnotic groove, anthemic melody and sly lyrics on Twinetime (Hi-N-Dry Records). A must-hear for old and new fans alike, this is some of the band's best song-writing efforts to date.
The The Morocco Gifts will be bringing Twinetime live to a town near you soon. Stay tuned..
The Morocco Gifts's CD Sideshow is a kaleidoscopic circus of the music world. Featuring the sonic magic of singer/guitarist Laurie Sargent, saxist Dana Colley and drummer Billy Conway, as well as a troupe of guest players, the CD expands the already wide blend of genres and instrumentation that made their critically heralded 2002 debut The Morocco Gifts so distinctive.
Sideshow's 11-song musical midway embraces everything from the weirdly sensual "Wishers" to the rocking, strident "The Definition of Truth," which echoes the paranoia and distortion rampant in our corporate-ruled culture. "I Slept Through It" is another protest song and a call for Americans to snap out of their political lethargy. And "Twilight" is a beautiful, sad story of star-crossed lovers whose sonorous arrangement recalls the softer side of Morphine, Billy and Dana's previous band.
