Album- new. Release Date: 01/10/21. Black vinyl Genre: Electronic / House / Techno / Post Punk The Core Tenets Of Morgan Wright’s Music Have Long Tested Club Music’s Context; The Rituals And Customs That Define It, And How Each Of Those Genres Change Once Removed From Their Traditional Settings.It’s A Space Morgan Wright Feels At Home In; One Where He’s Constantly Asking Questions Of The Structure Club Music Resides Within, And What It Means To Create A New Space For Familiar Sounds. And Over The Course Of His Debut Album, Class Tourist, Morgan Has Found New Ways To Elevate Those Same Questions — Whether By Way Of Intention, Or A Pandemic-Induced Coping Mechanism.In Class Tourist, Morgan Again Borrows From Familiar Strains Of The Subgenres Which Have Come To Form His Musical Identity. This Time, He Fuses Sounds Of Post-Punk, IDM And Breakbeat, Hopeful They Converge To Form A Bastardised Rendition Of The Latter, With “Australiana” At Its Core.It’s A Sound That Was Made Possible By A Change To His Songwriting Approach, After Pivoting From A Loop-Based Production Style — One Which He Has Applied To A Slew Of Other Projects, For The Better Part Of Five Years — To One Which Lends Itself To A More Standardised, Contemporary Format.Moving Through The Record, Morgan Toys With Musical Tropes Of Contrast With A Calculated Refinement Unheard Throughout His Previous Work. The Coalescence Of Melodic Optimism And Bleak, Mournful Soundscapes Feature On Class Tourist Again, As You Would Expect. But This Time, Contemporary Structure — With The Exception Of A Few Songs — Along With The Features Of Label-Mate, Purient, And Frequent Collaborator, ENDL355, Breathe New Life, And Even A New Genre, Into Morgan’s Work.
