Vapors of Morphine

About

Vapors of Morphine doesn't just resurrect a sound; they channel a ghost. Emerging from the ashes of the cult-beloved band Morphine, this trio, led by original saxophonist Dana Colley, along with Jeremy Lyons and Tom Arey, reimagines the low-rock landscape. Their music, a potent brew of bluesy undertones, jazz inflections, and hypnotic grooves, sidesteps mere tribute, instead forging a path that honors the past while exploring new sonic territories. Colley’s baritone sax remains the signature, weaving mournful melodies around Lyons' guitar and vocals. Formed in 2009, Vapors of Morphine quickly established themselves as more than just a nostalgia act. While drawing heavily from the Morphine catalog, they’ve injected original compositions and reinterpretations that demonstrate a commitment to pushing boundaries. Their live performances, known for their improvisational energy and haunting atmosphere, have garnered a dedicated following. The band's unique sound and unwavering dedication to their craft keep the spirit of Morphine alive, while simultaneously carving out a distinct identity in the contemporary music scene. Current projects include continued touring and the exploration of new sonic textures, ensuring the vapors continue to linger and evolve.
