JEREMY -
FROM HERE TO ETERNITY
|
|
|
NEW JEREMY CD ! OFFICIAL RELEASE DATE SEPTEMBER, 27th, 2022. *Here is a great review from Bart Mendoza in the San Diego Troubadour (November 2022) " The Basics: Seven new tracks from Michigan based Jeremy Morris. Fans who only know Morris through his power pop recordings will be amazed by this album. There is certainly a pop element in evidence here,indeed the sole cover is a recast "Green Tambourine", a 1967 hit originally by the Lemon Pipers, but in this recording it's a showcase for Morris' lead guitar work---psychedelic with more than a few touches of progressive rock--complete with Yes quote, which clocks in at 18:07. The closest thing to a traditional single here is "Sunshine Haze" at a mere 3:27, although it's an instrumental. The album opens up strong with "Forever by Your Side" which recalls late-period Moody Blues, while prog fans will love the closing "Coming to the End". From Here to Eternity is one of Morris's strongest releases, well recorded and played. While the short bursts of power pop riffs have been replaced with extended solos, these are highly engaging tunes that hold your attention. A good Sunday morning record ***** The new JEREMY cd "From here to eternity" is one of his most ambitious efforts to date. It is the sequel to last years "The road to zion" and follows close in style with a nice mix of psychedelic, progressive rock, and melodic pop rock styles. Fans of the BEATLES, MOODY BLUES, PINK FLOYD, KING CRIMSON, YES, ASH RA TEMPLE, BARCLAY JAMES HARVEST, HAWKWIND, etc...will find much to enjoy here. The 75 minute long album a loaded with cool guitar solos, mellotrons, sitars, psychedelic sounds and more.
Sonic sounds abound ranging from majestic, pastoral, to ambient, melodic ,and sublime guitar freak out jams. Those of you who have a real love for the sonic sounds of both the 70's and 60's will find much to enjoy here! Dig in for a full course meal and take a ride on an exciting musical adventure! You'll be glad you did!

ERIC EGGELSON--DAGGER MAGAZINE "Not only is it given for Jeremy Morris to release a new album every few months, but the peerless quality of his work is to be further counted on. Piled high with electrifying guitars, attended by Jeremy's trademark Beatles meets Byrds vocals, ringing chords and a snappy and sturdy arrangement, the title track of the album pitches earnest optimism in both sound and verse. ..prepare to be swept away by a tidal wave of rocking power pop thrills!

(NEW POWER POP RELEASE!) OFFICIAL RELEASE DATE : MAY 7TH, 2021 Here's some recent reviews......... "DISTANT DREAM" is every pop rock fans passport to paradise " --Beverly Paterson --POP-A-LOOZA " ---" I've been a long time admirer of Jeremy Morris' music and, full disclosure, a long time friend, which is why I rarely review his discs. After every album he's released, and the they've been, to quote Jeremy and the Beatles, "getting better"...Morris has enlisted the aid of Ken Stringfellow whose production of Distant Dream has definitely given Jeremy's music some balls!....The ever-present jangle, harmonies, and Lennon-esque influences are still here, as they probably always will be in Jeremy Morris albums, but the full-bodied production takes everything to another dimension...The team of Morris/Stringfellow may have come up with Jeremy's best album of a long and fruitful career! --David Bash " BASH ON POP --June 20th, 2021 --- The new cd from JEREMY is here (aka JEREMY,THE JEREMY BAND,THE LEMON CLOCKS etc ) This time around JEREMY is working closely with KEN STRINGFELLOW ( aka BIG STAR,THE POSIES, REM, The Minus 5 etc )
who produced and contributed much to the release. The two of them together have crafted a fresh power pop album of precision and focused song craft. 12 slices of pure power pop rock bliss can be heard on this release. 11 originals composed by Jeremy and 1 cover song of Big Star's "THIRTEEN" Fans of Beatles, Byrds, Big Star, The Posies, Chris Bell, Robin Hitchcock, TEENAGE FANCLUB etc.... will want this in their music collection.

THIRTY STEPS TO FORWARD -
YOU, ME, AND A PAPER MOON
|
|
(NEW RELEASE ON JAM RECORDS!) They come from South Haven, Michigan. This is their 3rd and best release to date. There music could be easily defined as FOLK POP with INDIE POP flavor, and just a little bit of Shoegaze for good measure. It's pure, unadulterated folk music featuring lovely female vocals of a heavenly quality. The musical arrangements are sublime, atmospheric, and other worldly. Sensitive finger picking on acoustic and electric guitars collide with pianos, mellotrons, synthesizers, and mandolins! This is truly a "spacious mind" production. And then there are the songs!- Memorable, full of good cheer, and carefully crafted. All the proper elements of master artwork are properly aligned! These backyard astronauts are something to keep your eye on! This music is a sure fire winner for fans of Sufjan Stevens, glowfriends, Tambourina, Iron and Wine, Simon and Garfunkle, and all things sublimely acoustic. ***** Five stars for fabulous!

Great new power pop release from the Junior League! The band is led by pop master Joe Adrangna along with help from Scott McCaughey ( Minus 5, REM, Young Fresh Fellows, etc...) and this album delivers the goods . Great songs and lovely melodies make it all worthwhile. Musically this is a marriage of BIG STAR, TEENAGE FANCLUB , AND MARSHALL CRENSHAW. The album is full of jangly guitar and sweet harmony vocals that we love to hear. So glad bands are still making music like this. Thank God!

THIRD OF NEVER -
AUSTERITY
|
|
New JAM release...officially out now September 30th, 2017. This is the latest and hands down the greatest release from THIRD OF NEVER. The new cd contains their most rocking and catchy power pop tunes to date! It starts off with the high octane "Kidnapped Information"- a song that sounds like a "Frosting on the Beater" era POSIES track. A great sound while sounding like THE WHO, and SPINNING JENNIES ! Up next is "Dig the View", another inspired rocker that kicks out with Keith Moon style drumming and again THE WHO is a big influence. (Hey, The Who's keyboardist RABBIT plays a hefty organ solo on this track!) Up next is "Run Silent Run Deep"- One the coolest guitar riffs I have heard in a long time by way of Jon Dawson. It rocks heavily and reminds us of SRC's "Milestones" LP. Think of the track "Up all Night " from that album as a reference. The guitar solo by the ultra talented C.J. is killer! Next comes the title track "Austerity" A minor key rocker with an infectious chord progression that will hook you in. This one has a TOM PETTY feel channeled through the energy of THE WHO. "506"-- the fifth track on the cd is very Pete Townsend inspired with a WELL WISHERS vibration. The rest of the cd is consistently great with every track being solid, catchy, rocking , and awesome. GRIP WEEDS Kurt Reil also participates as producer with the band adding some sublime harmony vocals ...that being the icing on this fabulous rock and roll cake! So there you have it! A superb GRADE A RELEASE >>> and a must have for fans of THE WHO, THE POSIES, and GRIP WEEDS! Just get it!

JEREMY -
INVITATION
|
|
RELEASE DATE 7/17/17 Brand new release from JEREMY MORRIS. This is technically the very first album of Jeremy. It was released as cassette only back in the 70's with a limited run of 500 copies. It has never appeared on cd before. The full original album is included here along with extended liner notes. (mixed directly from the original master tapes for superb sound) --- along with 5 bonus tracks from the original sessions which have never before seen the light of day ...until now that is. The recordings date back to 1975 --1977 era and are suberb, unique atmospheric dream pop soundscapes. The easiest comparison of the style of this cd would be the BEATLES, especially John Lennon , and also BIG STAR..especially BIG STAR'S "3rd". The music is very personal and will take you on a reflective journey to some amazing places. Highly recommended to fans of 70's music and to those who want to go a bit deeper with their music. Also, fans of psychedelic music will dig this too. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

JEREMY -
NOT OF THIS WORLD
|
|
BRAND NEW! Official release date September 1st, 2015. Here is the first review in from "SOMETHING ELSE REVIEWS" by Beverly Paterson: For the past 30 years or so,Jeremy Morris has been releasing one album after another. Not only is being so prolific an accomplishment in itself, but the quality of these dozens upon dozens of discs is consistently excellent...Following the lead of bands such as Pink Floyd, Yes, and The Moody Blues, Jeremy has whipped up a freewheeling collection of majestic marvels transcending his influences. A modern day classic rock masterstroke, NOT OF THIS WORLD is truly out of this world! "... The new JEREMY cd NOT OF THIS WORLD is a sure fire hit for fans of Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Tangerine Dream, The Byrds, The Pretty Things (S.F. Sorrow era), Barclay James Harvest, Mike Oldfield, and those who appreciate a nice dose of melodic rock. The music found here is interspersed with Progressive rock, Power Pop, Jangle rock, Psychedelic and ambient soundscapes. The four piece band on this new disc includes long time drummer DAVE DIETRICH, STEFAN JOHANSSON (The Lemon Clocks) on guitars, bass, keyboards, and drums, TODD BORSCH (The Ringles, The Gillegans, The Lemon Clocks) on bass, and Jeremy Morris on a vast array of instruments such as guitars, bass, piano, mellotron etc.... Never a dull moment, the music is well crafted and abounding with artistic invention. The disc shines with melodic sensibility all the way through. ( This is not an common achievement in this day of push button/ fast food music.) The cd beams bright with real music that is hand crafted and made for real people. A high mark release in the extensive cannon and catalog of Jeremy Morris this one is not to be missed!

The BRITANNICAS -
HIGH TEA
|
|
NEW JAM RELEASE!!! OUT NOW!!! This new 2014 cd release is the latest and absolute greatest from the wonderful BRITANNICAS! For many of you already in the know, The Britannicas are an all star power pop band that is truly international!( with members from USA, SWEDEN, and AUSTRALIA!) This all star line up includes STEFAN JOHANNSON (The Lemon Clocks) JOE ALGERI--(Jack and The Beanstalk, The Jac) HERB EIMERMAN (solo, The Nerk Twins)and MAGNUS KARLSSON (of the Happydeadmen, The Charade) These 4 power pop veterans are well seasoned and with their combined talents the results are outstanding! Here is a 13 track cd that fully delivers on it's promise! The disc starts off strong with the lovely jangle rock of "Got a Hold on Me". The song would have fit easily on any of the Jack and the Beanstalk cds. Great tune!. Up next is the super Byrdsy "Talkin about Summer" The spirit of Gene Clark comes to full force on this gem of a tune. Track #3 "The Moment Passed" kicks out the jams with nice rocking guitar. It's a bit heavier and has a very cool early Kinks feel. Track #4 bowls the listener over with some blow away harmony vocals that have not been heard much since "The Sun King" from the Beatles "Abbey Road". On to track #5 .."Bleed Between The Lines" a great Herb Eimerman/Nerk Twins sound that will truly please the fans with more great harmony vocals on this one. Track #6 is a piano based pop ballad that has a serious nod to the 60's. Track #7 jumps in with power pop chords and the Swedish pop sounds that emerged during the 90's. It sounds like a great lost Wannadies track. Track #8 returns the jingle jangle guitars to the mix and makes one feel very relaxed. The perfect chillax tune for the summer of 2014. (Again, nice harmonies galore!) Track #9 --The spirit of The Byrds "She don't care about time" evoke the rhythm section and the song is obviously Herb Eimerman and could easily fit on one of his solo discs. Track #10 comes as a surprise with a bouncy Happydeadmen/ Jellyfish back drop This song is pure Britannicas with it's classic vocal blend. Track #11 opens with nice organ/ 12 string jangle. The diminished chords remind one of Eddie Money's "Baby Hold on me" and the vocals are totally sublime. Track #12 sounds like Teenage Fanclub at their jangle best!

JEREMY -
THE SOLAR KING
|
|
It's not too often a new release comes out on 12/12/12 !!! Here is it!..."THE SOLAR KING" -- a brand new one from JEREMY. The dominating style on this cd is POWER POP. THE SOLAR KING is a first generation power pop gem that was originally recorded between 1980--1982. The album breathes with a fresh and innocent vibrance from that wonderful musical era. Here we find a style inspired by bands like SHOES, OFF BROADWAY, NEW ENGLAND, THE CARS,.. and of course those "B" bands-- BEATLES, BYRDS, BIG STAR, and BADFINGER! "The Solar King" tapes sat on the shelf for over 30 years and now it's time to celebrate as these recordings finally see the light of day! I am so glad this lost album was finally found. It sounds "Fresh as a Daisy" and as the saying goes.... "Better late than never!"

The LEMON CLOCKS -
NOW IS THE TIME
|
|
****POP ALERT ---LISTED IN BEVERLY PATERSON'S TOP 10 BEST ALBUMS FOR 2012!
Here's what the reviewers are saying:
"Wholeheartedly embraces the sound of a Rickenbacker 12 string guitar. Many of the tracks feature chiming Byrdsian riffs..Some of the finest pseudo-60's music around!" ERIC SORENSEN--journalist
" Jeremy's in full McGuinn mode throughout the album. A great head trip for pop fans who want to go to a "Better World Beyond"..gives the old Pink Floyd a run for it's money. Not a weak track anywhere and my top pick for psychedelic pop album this year! ---The powerpopaholic.com
Somewhere between the Byrds "Younger than Yesterday" and "The Notorious Byrd Brothers. A superb effort and psych jangle valhalla! ---Joe Algerie
"Drawing inspiration from the jingle jangle juices of the Byrds, the harmonious helpings of the Hollies, and the experimental edge of Pink Floyd and Traffic,The Lemon Clocks in the process have spawned a sound that's impossible not to enjoy. ..as far as I'm concerned, the Lemon Clocks are the best new band of the year!---Beverly Paterson: Music jounralist.
Officially released as of MARCH 3rd 2012! The LEMON CLOCKS are a new band producing their own brand of special psychedelic power pop rock. Fans of The BEATLES, THE BYRDS, PINK FLOYD, PRETTY THINGS, and TEENAGE FANCLUB take note! Continuing the tradition of such classic albums as "The Piper at the gates of Dawn" "Younger than Yesterday" " Revolver" and "S.F. Sorrow".. The LEMON CLOCKS bring back to us what has been missing in a lot of todays "current" music: Creatively!!! Harmony!!! Melody!!! THE LEMON CLOCKS were born in a hotel room in Liverpool, England where TODD BORSCH, STEFAN JOHANSSON, and JEREMY MORRIS came together and worked on songs for a future album. It was recorded in both Sweden and the USA bringing to the album a true "international pop" flavor!
On this sublime cd you will hear a lot of Rickenbacker 12 string guitar, walls of cool harmony vocals, tastey studios effects, and catchy tunes that will be running through your head for days! "NOW IS THE TIME" to discover THE LEMON CLOCKS!!! You'll be glad you did!

JEREMY -
ALPHA AND OMEGA
|
|
In stock today as of JUNE 22nd 2011. Here we have a brand new one from JEREMY MORRIS. "Alpha and Omega" contains 12 new songs done in the power pop rock style that Jeremy is best know for.. (with occasional progressive flourishes for good measure). The ever present Beatlesque vocal trademark is there as usual with jangly guitars galore ringing about in the mix. The songs in general are longer this time around giving the artist a chance to stretch out and push the boundaries of pop music bringing in some spacey effects which are tastefully restrained in the mix.. In particular what sets this album is it's pure content. The 71 minute long cd contains 12 "love anthems" to God and shows no reservations to be subtle or ashamed about it. To put it simply...if you love God..chances are very good you will love this music as well! Rated G ...for GOOD!
Sound Samples:
Glory Lord
His Burden is Light

We Pray Your Kingdom Come
Hallelujah
Let it Shine

|
|
HEARTS ON FIRE: SWEET RELIEF #2 GETS A FIVE STAR REVIEW IN GOLDMINE MAGAZINE from music journalist JOHN BORACK ***** ..."A near-perfect collection of jangle-heavy power pop treats by independent artists from around the globe, some of recent and others vintage. It's the brainchild of musician/label owner/all-around good guy Jeremy Morris of JAM Records in Michigan, who has recruited two dozen artists to contribute tracks to the collection, whose proceeds provide financial aid for victims of hurricanes, earthquakes and other natural disasters. Not only is the disc benefiting a good cause, but Morris's song selections are impeccable and, as a bonus, many of the tunes are rare or previously unreleased. ..the roster includes acts from Italy, UK, Scotland, USA Japan, Austria, Canada, Sweden..The songs are all consistently top-shelf and brimming with melodic invention and hooks aplenty. The Mayflowers "Get Over Time" is a powerfully kinetic updating of the "Day Tripper" riff, while DM3's "Foolish" is one of the most enduring power pop numbers of the past 20 years. Much of the collection relies on the sweet sound of gently ringing guitars to power the tunes. The Primary 5 (featuring former Teenage Fanclub member Paul Quinn), Dropkick, Cosmic Rough Riders, and Byrds disciples Starry Eyed and Laughing,all succeed mightily! Artists such as The Grip Weeds and Gravelberrys offer up marvelous tracks! Other instant grabbers include Greg Pope's "Fall into Your Arms" which sounds like something that leaped straight off of Todd Rundgren's Something/Anything record. The Thick jangle of Daniel Wylie's "Make Love to the World" and two songs that bring to mind the layered low-key beauty of the late 70's/early 80's Britpop act The KORGIS: The Junipers "Gordie Can't Swim" and Paisley and Charlie's innocently gorgeous "Sebastian" (Come Home). Throw in previously released winners from The Records, Seth Swirsky, and Nelson Bragg, and a new one from Jeremy Morris himself (featuring some very "Eight Miles High"-inspired lead guitar) and it all adds up to one of the finest power pop comps of the past decade. Don't miss this one--John Borack --Goldmine Magazine - Winter 2011

The opening tracks "HOME" and "WHERE THERE'S A WILL THERE'S A WAY"
(*in memory of the great late WIL WOODROWE*) are filled with classic WHO style guitar chord riffs amidst psychedelic sounds. Songs like "VANITY FARE" and "CHURCH OF BYRDS" are excellent tributes to the jingle jangle sound with layered sweet harmony vocals.

Most of the songs range within two to three minutes holding true to the tried and tested power pop formula. Early reports agree that this is one of JEREMY'S best albums to date...sure to win many new fans and continue to please those who already know! Try it you'll like it.

SHPLANG -
MY BIG THREE WHEELER
|
|
New release on Jam for 2009! SHPLANG has just released the *best* album of their career so far. This is the 4th release from this ultra fine L.A based psych-pop-rock outfit. SHPLANG is a very fun group to listen to and their crystalline sound is rooted in 60's psychedelia while adding a modern twist to the mix. You can hear the inspiration of first generation 60's bands such as Beach Boys, Pink Floyd,and Electric Prunes filtered through the more recent vibes of bands like Cake, High Llamas, Guided by Voices, and U2. This unique morphing of styles makes for a very fun audio experience taking the listener through at least 5 decades of creative rock music! "My Big Three Wheeler" is a retro-active bundle of psychedelic joy! Highly recommended, fun, and free music for the open minded!

ELECTRIC FORGIVENESS -
ECHOES AND BOOMS
|
|
NEW JAM RELEASE!!!!!
ELECTRIC FORGIVENESS is a new band consisting of: JOHN BUNDRICK: (The Who's keyboardist) JON DAWSON: (From the band THIRD OF NEVER).. with JEREMY MORRIS on electric guitar and TONY STIGLITZ on drums.
This album is a delight for both progressive rock and electronic music fans alike! Highly instrumental, the easiest sound comparison would be PORCUPINE TREE'S : VOYAGE 34 album. There are many shades of PINK FLOYD (Meddle,etc.. ), TANGERINE DREAM, THE ORB and space rock floating in the mix. Psychedelic journey soundtrack music is the theme with a tongue and cheek flashback to the hippie days of the innocence and ignorance. With titles like "Gilmour was Pink" and "Dark side of the Sun" the inspirations should be obvious! An audio treat for headphone buffs! Superb sounds with lots of ear candy! Highly Recommended!

SER is essential listening for all progressive and space rock music fans. This album is *not* new age music, so if you are looking for something boring, please look elsewhere! The album 'SER' is one beautiful 45 minute long track broken into many moods and spirits. The album flows perfectly and is mainly progressive instrumental with the inclusion of a couple guest vocal spots from Jeremy Morris. There are shades of Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream, Brian Eno, Klaus Schultz, with a connection to early Genesis, (The album was recorded at ANTHONY PHILLIPS studio in England) This album comes together perfectly and is one of the top progressive releases for 2008. What makes this album so outstanding is that this 45 minute track never once gets boring for even one minute. (That's not an easy feat to accomplish but CAZENAVE has pulled it off in a way that appears to be effortless. The music keeps changing dynamics, landscapes,and shifting moods and styles. It's full of surprises! SER is a wonderful journey, an adventure, a real experience. So go ahead and get this album SER, you'll be glad you did. One of the years best!

Furthermore, this album contains shades of Big Star (third), early Genesis(their pastoral side ala Anthony Phillips) and some fantastic progressive moments as well. Their sound is heavy folk pop to some degree while also being very cosmic and ambient. A sumblime recording, TWO SUNS has already become a favorite among many! Highly Recommended/GRADE A (Spanish Import) *note:All songs are sung in English

Only a few copies left of this one.
2003 release from prolific artist Jeremy Morris. On this stellar release,
the style remains true to his pop roots exploring the sounds of Beatles, Byrds, Hollies, Big Star, etc.. merging with some psychedelic sounds and rings true with the jangly pop spirit of 60's and 70's pop! Harmonies galore, and Rick string guitars abound awash a shimmery and uplifting production! ..."Pop Dreams" proves to be his best yet. Now that's saying a mouthful, as everything Jeremy creates is fabulous.

The Ringles -
Dish Full of Ringles
|
|
The Ringles have surfaced from Princeton, Illinois where they crank outtheir own special brand of fab four influenced pop! Thinkpsychedelic pop, and then think of bands like The GreenPajamas. Songs like "Sour dour Sky" are really far out !This would have fit nicely on "Revolver" Then there's theopener "Mary Go Round"-I sure-fire hit with crunchy fuzzguitars and swirly fazed vocals. Or, if you like janglypop "I won't be listening" sounds like it could have beenan early Move track. Alas, the finale "Shooting down thesun" sounds like an out-take from the first Rooks album. Sothere you have it, - a straight ahead 60's laced powerpoppin cd just waiting to jump out of your speakers! (Fansof the Reasonars, Get Hip, and Sundazed labels, take note!)The Ringles are fabulous! Listed at #2 in Eric Sorensen'sBEST top 10 power pop cds for 2001!!!!! yeah!!!!

Seven

OUT OF PRINT.
*Rated by journalist DAVID BASH as one of Jeremy's finest releases.
(This album is overflowing with sensitive acoustic tunes featuring piano and guitar in a simple setting.) If you like pretty, melancholic, dreamy, heartfelt pop, then this is for you. Consider JOHN LENNON'S "IMAGINE" album as a reference point. Journalist David Bash considers SEVEN to be one of Jeremy's best albums along side albums such as "POP HEAVEN" "POP RULES" and "POP EXPLOSION"

"Rare" is a colorful kaleidoscope of rapturous pop performances covering everything from the playful rock and roll of "Here We Go Now" to "Waiting There" a heart-stopping piano laced ballad...
