The debut solo album by Typhoon frontman Kyle Morton available everywhere now and on vinyl via Bug Hunt.
Typhoon is an band from Portland, OR. They’ve released three albums and will be releasing their fourth in 2017.
Kyle will embark on his first solo US tour in January 2017 in support of What Will Destroy You. Sets will feature music from the album, as well as Typhoon fan favorites and songs from the band’s forthcoming full length album, which is set for release in 2017. The solo tour sees Kyle trading in the expansive venues that generally house Typhoon’s concerts, like New York’s Webster Hall and DC’s 9:30 Club, for the intimate environs of Rough Trade NYC and DC’s Sixth & I Synagogue, creating a special evening for those in attendance.
Of the album, Kyle says, “Most of these songs were written in about a day, many of them while walking aimlessly around Portland, others wrote themselves in the moments just before sleep. They were recorded and mixed with the invaluable help of Paul Laxer from the inviolate comfort of his living room, mostly in the evenings during the winter and early spring of 2015. At the outset there was no deliberate attempt at an overarching concept, though once finished and lined up together the theme of my subconscious was revealed to me: this was a record about love, more specifically (not devolving into platitudes just yet), the ambivalence of erotic love.”
“With a couple exceptions these songs are about kinds of love, from old fashioned heartache to acute sadomasochism; some drawn from personal experience and others extrapolated from years of keen observation on the subject.”
