Morganway have announced the release of their self-titled debut album, ‘Morganway’! The record will be released on August 2nd and has the following track listing:
Morganway’ – Tracklisting
My Love Ain’t Gonna Save You
Let Me Go
You Can Only Die Once
In A Dream (Coming Home)
Frozen In Our Time
London Life
Hurricane
New Way
Daylight Rising
I See People
I Want No Other Love
The eagle eyed among you will spot the two recent singles ‘Frozen In Our Time’ and ‘Hurricane’ (each of which we’ve featured here on Belles and Gals). Having heard both of those singles and many of the other tracks in their live set, this looks set already to be one of the albums of the year.
On being asked how Morganway can capture their incredible live set into a studio album, Callum Morgan (founder of the group alongside brother Kieran) stated:
“It couldn’t become too sanitised in the studio so the bulk of it was recorded live, with minimal overdubs. I think all art is frozen in its time, forever reflecting the moment in which it was made but also, hopefully, speaking to the person that discovers it in their own time. Jackson Browne says he still calls recordings ‘records’, regardless of their physical or digital format, because to him, they’re ‘a record of events’.”

About Morganway
Morganway was founded in 2016 by twin brothers Callum (vocals/bass) and Kieran Morgan (lead guitar), and genre-defying keyboard player Matt Brocklehurst. Their numbers quickly grew as their sound developed, with singer SJ Mortimer, whose growling vocals were a perfect complement to the Morgan brothers gritty guitar work, and fiddle player Nicole J Terry joining the ranks. On the choice of adding another lead instrument to the band, Callum explained that, “both Kieran and Nicole have very individual playing styles, and that combination allows their instruments to play off one another in quite distinctive ways, sometimes harmonising or in total contrast.” The last member to officially join was drummer Ed Bullinger, whose diverse playing adds an urgent, yet tactful texture to the fray.
