Morris T Hardy

T. Hardy Morris started his career in Dead Confederate and later joined the southern supergroup Diamond Rugs along with members of Deer Tick, Black Lips, and Los Lobos. His solo music ranges from quiet folk songwriting to all-out 70s southern rock power.

Heading into the spring of 2020, T. Hardy Morris had 12 demos that he thought would make-up his next album, then, everything changed. The world took a break and so his plans to record did as well. As we all watched and waited out the storms; viral and societal, we seemed to wake up scrolling through a whole new century, a time Morris began to refer to as The Digital Age of Rome. He scrapped the demos and began a collection of songs in quarantine where the unprecedented times and topics were unavoidable. He wanted to document the era sonically and lyrically in some way. "I wanted it to sound like how the world felt to me in the second half of 2020. Uncomfortable and chaotic, dystopian but still beautiful." The Digital Age of Rome was recorded in a deserted downtown Athens, Ga. With long-time collaborator / producer Adam Landry.

Från Athens, Georgia - och lite av ett låtskrivargeni. Denna platta på New West's underetikett Normaltown är så bra, så stark, trots att den mestadels är en ganska lågmäld historia. Elva sånger av enorm kvalité, bra texter - våga och vinn.
