In case you were unaware, we are obsessed with Typhoon. You might want to read our review of their debut full-length White Lighter from 2013 – one of two 5 / 5’s on this little blog (the other belonging to Deer Tick).

It’s a brilliant album, we can safely say.

So when we saw Kyle Morton’s solo tour, the same Mr. Morton who is primary songwriter and singer for Typhoon, you knew we were going to get excited. Everyone we’ve met – from the Oh Hellos to Cereus Bright to god knows who else we’re forgetting – have fond memories of the 11+ piece Typhoon. And to have whittled down the group to a small handful of solo performances… we’ll, let’s say we’re probably expecting quite a bit.

Here are the further tour dates. And here’s Morton’s 2016 solo album, available for streaming and purchase. We’re expecting to hear much off this latest album, but quite hopefully, his brief discography with Typhoon will likely be making an appearance (and yes, they’ve announced a sophomore full-length to be forthcoming).

Anyway… yes, this show is sold out in Boston. But in case you’re near NYC, we suggest checking out one of the most exciting new songwriters we’ve ever listened to. Probably the most surprising, intricate, and outright unexpected songwriting we’ve come across. So, yes, worth the admission, we’d be happy to stake. Check out the few other tour dates as well.

And be back after the Boston show so we can shower you with photos and Morton with praise (most likely),
-Mgmt.
