Morass of Molasses Announce UK Tour
On March 31, Morass of Molasses will head out on not-at-all-their-first UK tour getting some road time in ahead of their slated appearance at Desertfest London 2023 (info here). The trio have played live as steadily as possible since the 2019 release of The Ties That Bind (review here), which was issued through Wasted State Records ahead of their signing with Ripple Music last Spring.
I have no info on the subject, but it doesn’t seem unlikely that an album announcement will follow at some point soon, maybe ahead of the start of this run. Bands don’t usually get picked up by Ripple with nothing going on record-wise, and by the time these shows are done it will have been a full year since they were signed. Shit happens, vinyl takes forever, and so on, but ‘band might have album’ doesn’t feel like particularly off the wall speculation here. As I have to keep reminding myself, 2019 was four years ago, however stuck-in-trauma’s-amber much of the time since feels.
That they’re getting out is a good sign, regardless of what it may or may not directly herald. Dates follow below, as posted by the band:
