Synopsis

Album Description
Misadventures in Radiology is the ambitious debut release from Andrew Morgan. At once an homage to the hypnotic continuity of 50's Cool Jazz and the kaleidoscopic invention of late 60's British Pop, the album bears a sound that straddles decades, continents and genres. Core sessions were recorded in Los Angeles at Elliott Smith's New Monkey Studio with a host of musicians including, most notably, former Built to Spill cellist John McMahon. Completed in July of 2003, Misadventures in Radiology has garnered comparisons to Brian Wilson's 1966 masterpiece, Pet Sounds.

Review of Andrew Morgan at ThreeImaginaryGirls.com
*three imaginary girls* | Seattle, WA [USA] | 04/17/2005
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Elliott Smith fans take note: while nobody could ever replace Elliott, Andrew Morgan will surely bend your Smith-missing ears in a positive direction. As Morgan's friend and mentor, Elliott obviously had his influence, but Morgan takes Smith's sweet melancholy and adds the cinematic effect of orch-pop to create an album that's emotional, improvisational, and ambitious.



Morgan's musical sound incorporates so many instruments, you wonder if there were any that weren't played on this album. In addition to the customary piano/guitar/percussion mix found in most bands, Morgan's album credits musicians on cello, viola, French horn, harp, tympani (I had to grab my dictionary for that one), sleigh bells of all things, and many more. This cornucopia of instrumentation results in a sometimes playful sound similar to The Shins.

Excellent debut

"This album is chock full of beautiful melodies that grow on the listnener with repetition. The comparisons to Elliot Smith may be overstated, but mostly because Morgan has created something uniquely his own here. Can't wait for the next album."
