INTRODUCING MORGUES LATEST BROTH RECORDS SIGNING SHARE ‘OUTER SPACE’

Today Broth Records are elated to announce their latest label signing, Eora / Sydney bedroom pop duo Morgues, who share their latest release ‘Outer Space‘. LISTEN + WATCH HERE.

The duo of Celeste Dao (she/her) and Cath Connell (she/they), Morgues banded together as internet friends first, photographers second, motivated to form a music group. Drawn to Cath’s demos most, Celeste proposed they work together as a two-piece, and over a three year gestation period and instrumental changes, Morgues arrive today fully realised. “One of our first direct message exchanges was about photos we took at a Gang Of Youths show,” reveals Cath.

A serendipitous surprise to Joji Malani, founder and director of Broth Records, whose discovery of the band was just as coincidental. He shares “I was on set for the first shoot we did for Coconut Cream and the photographer was playing some music to get everyone into the mood and ‘2006’ by Morgues came on. I asked them a million questions about the band and just felt really connected to this song. I reached out to them via instagram and we met up for dumplings and the rest is history.”

He contines, “I had a little celebration when Broth officially launched and invited the acts I had signed at that point and Cath met Oscar from Coconut Cream. I didn’t get to speak with them that night but they had a great conversation and decided to record a song with Oscar. Hearing about it later was like a full-circle moment – I found Morgues via this Coconut Cream shoot and now one of the members of Coconut Cream was gonna record with Morgues. This is what I always wanted for Broth, to create a community where people can interact, collaborate or work with each other on different projects while maintaining a strong community ethos. It’s so valuable post-pandemic.”
