Morly (with Sam Hirschfelder) |
Following up last summer’s In Defense of My Muse EP (Cascine Records) with the just-released Something More Holy EP, she self-describes the new EP as “more lyrical, more traditional” versus her earlier work. Armed with piano and eventually guitar, Morly was joined on stage by an Australian drummer Sam Hirschfelder in a set filled with minimalist ambient and electronic beats, that rewarded the patient listener with its intricacies.

She closed out her 40-min set with “If Only Chords,” from her latest EP, Something More Holy.

Her voice is often compared to Adele, but perhaps Låpsley is more on the electronica scale, instead of folky pop singer.
As for the show, Låpsley mentioned that she spent two full days in Minneapolis, shopping at Target, visiting the mighty Mississippi River (she’s a big yachting fan and own a boat called Theodore), and just doing touristy stuff. She became a big fan of Target, which she admitted she “visited for the first time... and they got some good s**t!”

Strangely enough, her setlist showed the Prince-penned song “Nothing Compares 2 U”, but ultimately was left off the live set because she was nervous about covering the song. Instead, Kate Bush’s “This Woman’s Work” was played. While the Bush cover was fine, it would’ve been fitting and nice tribute to the recently deceased musician - and it would have been interesting to see if she followed what Sinéad O’Connor did or what The Family brought to the table... or something completely her own re-imagining of the song.
Låpsley ended her show with, undoubtedly her biggest hit song “Hurt Me” (based on fan’s reactions). Fans were singing back “So if you're gonna hurt me / Why don't you hurt me a little bit more? / Just dig a little deeper / Push a little harder ...”
Long Way Home is Låpsley’s debut album from XL Recording. Låpsley continues her USA tour, ending May 11th at Music Hall of Williamsburg in New York.
