    I’m sorry to say this, but… shut the front door, there’s a genre of music like Morphine and I wasn’t informed until now?! Thank you for this knowledge, I’ll be checking both bands out tomorrow! :)

      Well calling it a whole genre is a bit of a stretch. Mark Sandman of Morphine coined the term “low rock” for their type of music and there’s a couple bands heavily influenced by them that also use that label. Monique Ortiz makes music that continues the low rock vibe, and then she’s collaborated with Morphine’s drummer on Bourbon Princess, and put out an album with Morphine’s saxophonist as “A.K.A.C.O.D.” And there’s also the band “Twinemen” with former Morphine members.
