Under My Bed:Morose

Pointless as any other thing under the ruthless glance of the Sun and the pitying look of the Moon, Morose was born in 1998. The first recording consists of an untitled cassette, released by Italian indie label, Ouzel Records. After some short works ("Lifespace at a given moment", "Best regards from Hungary"), in 2003 Morose recorded their first full-lenght album: "La mia ragazza mi ha lasciato" (Cane Andaluso, Ouzel, Under My Bed), then they toured Italy and had some gigs in in London and Southern England. In 2005 "People have ceased to ask me about you" (Suiteside) came to light, and some changes in the line-up took place. Meanwhile, the band shared the stage with The Microphones, Sin Ropas, Ant, Azure Ray, Iso 68, Baby Dee, Mi and L'Au, (r), and Okkervil River. Waiting for Hades' eternal embrace, in 2006 a third album came to darkness, "On the back of each day" (Suiteside) and again the band toured Italy and France.
The new album "La vedova d'un uomo vivo", for the first time sung in Italian, has been released in Italy (Boring Machines, Shyrec, Ribess) and France (Travelling Music) in June 2009. In 2012 they have released a split in Volume 4 of "Cinque Pezzi Facili" entitled "Dell'amore e dei suoi fallimenti", which is counterparted by the instrumental contribution of Campofame entitled "Deleted Scenes". At the end of 2014, a collection of early recordings (1998-2004) entitled La Bygone Era - The Ouzel Years was released by Ouzel, the first label to support and release records from the band. After a period of suspended activity due to physical separation of the band members that life had brought to the opposite poles of the Planet (the US and Singapore), in the summer of 2018, coinciding with the return to the native lands, commenced the recordings of Sopra il tetto sotto terra which is released by Under My Bed (UMB#055) and Ribéss Records (on the 3rd of May, 2019).
