Kris Morris: I Think We Both Know

Kris Morris

In the Summer of 2008 Kris Morris entered the Rush House, Northamptonshire, UK to record his debut full lenth I Think We Both Know. The Aussie singer-songwriter had been gigging all over the UK promoting his Little Light EP. For this album he took his time building the tracks with a long list of musicians, adding cello, lap steel and washes of Wurltizer organ.

It's a collection of serious songs about relationships molded into soft spoken bluesy folk-tinged rock. Morris has the kind of voice that has a sense of urgency to it. Think Kevin Ayers meets Luther Dickinson, especially in songs like Oblivous and I Still Believe.
