Media-shy Morganza To The Gulf are set to release “hope your guardian genius” on Seattle's 2nd Best Coffee label. Although no one has ever heard their music, this emo band’s debut is surely bound to please. After all, they describe themselves as mixing witty, razor-sharp lyrics with masterfully precise emocore notes - all wrapped up in a zydeco-infused sensibility that does not betray their Louisiana roots. Plus, they are said to wear furry costumes like, 24-7!Catch them on tour now in the Outer Hebrides. And look for them performing in May at LifeisGoodapalooza with fellow emo darlings Nitzana, grunge rockers Hyperion Wastewater Treatment Plant, art-house minimalists La Vie en Rose, industrial krautrockers (via Pakistan!) Moder Gorob and zany alt-punk-metal dudes Buff-headed Coucal. These bands rule the (un)school.
No MP3s are currently available but here’s a lyric sampler from the titular track…
“Plastic signs
Sorting times
Blinds are boxing up the lines
hope your guardian genius
Mixing must
Eternal rust
Flailing pixies in the dust
hope your guardian genius
We betray! Hope your guardian genius
We delay! Hope your guardian genius”
