DIVINE MORPHINE (vinyl)

Description

'Divine Morphine' is Kepa's second album, three years after 'Doctor, Do Something.' The doctor, then morphine: Kepa plays his music (a blues derivative on a metal guitar, with a contemporary spirit) first for himself, then for others. Conceived during periods of personal turmoil and recorded during Covid, 'Divine Morphine' is a crazy, powerful remedy, somewhere between a unicorn and a Pegasus, ridden by a singer in an opiate trance. Kepa explores primitive guitar, psychedelic folk, dance beats, covers (Cesaria Evora, Skip James), and especially his own obsessions, in search of his freedom as a musician. No return ticket, with rare intensity and originality.
