VAPORS OF MORPHINE (US)
The story of Vapors of Morphine is as serendipitous as it is poetic. Years before they met, Colley unknowingly captured a photo of Lyons and his street band in New Orleans, pasting it into his tour journal with a note about their evocative blues sound. A decade later, after Hurricane Katrina forced Lyons to relocate to Boston, the two musicians were introduced, only to discover they had matching halves of the same Polaroid, a moment of fate that sparked their collaboration.
Since then, Vapors of Morphine has grown beyond nostalgia, carving new sonic landscapes while staying true to the moody, intoxicating essence of their predecessor.
Their live performances are a hypnotic blend of Morphine originals, deep blues, African rhythms, and psychedelic rock that pushes boundaries while honouring the experimental spirit that Sandman championed.
