Sandman completes Morphine's fifth album The Night
Sandman finished Morphine's fifth album The Night in summer 1999, and 1998 loft demos are being prepared for release as Cocoon.
Morphine signed with DreamWorks Records in 1997, a label founded by David Geffen and Mo Ostin. The band's first album, Good, came out in 1992, and Morphine described its sound as low rock. Rykodisc president Don Rose signed Morphine in 1993 for the group's second album, Cure for Pain. The track No Reason, dated 1989, belongs to Treat Her Right, the group that existed before Morphine.
Morphine's music was added to the films Get Shorty and Wild Things and to an early episode of the series Sex and the City. Billy Conway took over the drums from Deupree after Deupree left during the recording of Cure for Pain.
Sandman wrote and produced a new set of songs himself, and these songs were later released as Morphine's fifth album, The Night. Sandman began recording the songs for The Night at the Fort Apache studio with an experimental mood. Sandman completed The Night in the summer of 1999. Bass, violin and cello were added to The Night, expanding the lineup.
Loft demos recorded in 1998 earlier are being prepared for release under the title Cocoon.
