And You Were The Hunter

Tue, 22 May 2012 16:11:54 +0100

Ok, this hasn’t happened to me before. Basically, my EP that was coming out next month has accidentally become an album. It’s still called ‘And You Were The Hunter’ and follows on from my previous record that came out a few months back.

It’s a little different since it’s less of a live record and has layers of additional instruments. Because it’ll get a pressing (as well as the extra PR stuff that goes with these things), I’ve now pushed it back to a mid August release as well as alter the price slightly.

The good news for the people who already preordered it? They’ll still get it in June for no extra cost and will get a numbered handmade edition. Sound ok? I hope so because it’s done now.

Enjoy the sun

I roamed hills like a dragon,
And I was scared for a while.
Hopelessly in love with an idea,
Hopelessly in love with a woman.

And if memory serves me correctly,
I got drunk until I could not stand
And now I just have the ramblings of a mad man to keep me company

So, after the daily trip to post cds at the tiny local post office, I made a few advancements on one of my books. I decided to shelve one of them for the time being as it had become and bit of a chore and uninspiring. But, with my children’s book—— all of sudden it came alive! I might post up a chapter here in a week or two if I’m happy with it. I use the phrase ‘children’s book’ in a fairly loose way. It has a girl. And a rabbit. Starts in a supermarket. Goes into an underworld place. Of sorts.

Still waiting for my art print to come back for the printers. And waiting for the rest of the funds to come together for the vinyl pressing of ‘We Were Animals’.

I’m also in the final recording stages of writing a piece of music for a friends book. Sophie and me from Her Name is Calla will be in Berlin in June performing it at the book launch. Can’t wait!

Aaaaahhhh!

Well. Here it is. My beloved Gretsch Electromatic with Bigsby tremolo. My favourite guitar. It’s been used on pretty much everything and on the past few tours. It has A LOT of dents and scratches, but it plays well and sounds fantastic. To say that there’s a bit of sentimental attachment to this as well as a lot of story is an understatement.

It comes complete with a new set of strings as well as a hardcase with ‘Her Name is Calla’ printed on it. You can make offers by messaging me here, on facebook or to temorris@me.com

Total sadface

The Heritage - Purple

The Heritage - Clear

The White and the Skin

Blueprints

Snare

Cracked Hands of the Master Craftsman

Squire Telecaster

Electro Acoustic Bass

Ok. So I’m selling off lots of HNIC and T E Morris memorabilia to help the vinyl pressing funds. Later, I’ll also be selling off my beloved Gretsch.

So, you can message me on facebook or send an email to temorris@me.com to make an offer for any of these. We have:

My own copy of The Heritage on purple/clear vinyl. Now sold out.

My own copy of The Heritage on clear/purple haze vinyl. Now sold out.

My own copy of The White and the Skin CDR. Now sold out.

My own copy of Blueprints CDR. Long since sold out

My snare drum. Used extensively in live shows. Especially in New England. Comes with a gig bag.

My own copy of Cracked Hands of the Master Craftsman. Long since sold out.

My Squire Telecaster. Missing the pickguard and currently not working properly. It will need a slight rewire. Has been used extensively on most HNIC tours. Was famously smashed up on stage at King Tuts in Glasgow during our 2007 tour. Now obviously restored cosmetically and used since. Comes with a gig bag.

My electro-acoustic bass guitar. An unknown manufacturer. Doesn’t play too well as the neck is slightly warped. But could possibly be restored if someone wants to take the time.

Items can either be collected or I can organise recorded delivery on items to ensure that they get to you.
