Apologies █ █ █ █ Kyle Morton writes songs for as if they were the █ █ last works he might ever create. His band is big █ █ by rock standards, with somewhere in the █ █ neighborhood of a dozen members playing mighty, █ █ powerful songs whose instrumentation conveys big, █ █ bold joy. But underneath it all are the words of a █ █ young man living on what he feels is borrowed █ █ time. When he was young, Morton contracted a █ █ serious case of Lyme disease; he suffered multiple █ █ organ failures and required a kidney transplant █ █ from his father. Basically, his childhood was █ █ taken from him. █ █ █ █ For the past few years, I've been following Morton █ █ - now 27 - and his big band of horns, strings, █ █ drums and guitars from Portland, Ore. They've put █ █ out some memorable music, but the new White █ █ Lighter takes the promise they've shown and █ █ delivers completely. The uplifting melodies and █ █ rhythms that sway and swing, mixed with lyrics █ █ about hopeless dreams and cold realities, works so █ █ well. It's the kind of combination that has me █ █ singing words over and over - words that, if laid █ █ on paper, might not be ones I'd want stuck in my █ █ head. They're dark, but in that darkness can be █ █ found a sincere appreciation for the gift of life. █ ▓ ▓ ▒ ▒ ░ 1. Prelude 0:17 ░ ░ 2. Artificial Light 5:35 ░ ░ 3. Young Fathers 4:27 ░ ░ 4.
