On her debut release, Minnesota multi-instrumentalist Morly has managed to produced some of the most wonderfully fragile and melancholic soundscapes that fragile and beautiful soundscapes I’ve heard in a long, long time.

Seraphese, the second track on the EP, first emerged online last year and is as beautiful as it is simplistic, with little more than a piano and an urgent tick of percussion for much of its three and a half minutes, but that is all it needs.

On ‘In Defense Of My Muse’, Morly, whose real name is Kate Morley, builds on this base with three more hauntingly angelic songs, mixing a minimal vibe with her choral influences.
