Organ Morgan release their new single "I Just Pretended"
Organ Morgan – shares the brand new single "I Just Pretended" alongside his debut EP Figurehead.
Organ Morgan is the moniker of songwriter and guitarist Harris McMillan, previously drummer in British indie rock band Blaenavon. Based in London, McMillan is flanked by long time collaborators Stefano Amoretti (harmonium/keys) and fellow ex-Blaenavon member Frank Wright (bass) who make up the core of the project on record and on the live stage.
""I Just Pretended" was a late addition to our Scottish recordings. The sun had set prematurely and I was standing around on the jetty, already feeling a little wistful about leaving," says McMillan. "The song resonated with us; it’s a series of vivid snapshots - the small feeling of loss that comes with any perfect moment that you know you’ll have to carry around with you. Trying to protect these moments as the people who made them move inexorably out of focus.”
"Initially these songs were a disparate bunch, each written to try and bring form and control to different phases of life, relationships and the rest," McMillan explains. "They’re the most evocative reminders I have of the past. Travelling out to the farthest reaches of Scotland to record with my friends turned these introspections into a distant cluster of songs which now seem close together."
Organ Morgan released their first two singles in 2021 via Campbell Baum's (Sorry) folk imprint Broadside Hacks. His debut EP Figurehead was recorded and produced over the course of two weeks in 2022 at Black Bay Studios, an ex-crab processing factory on the Hebridean Island of Great Bernera, Scotland.
Organ Morgan's new single "I Just Pretended" and debut EP, Figurehead, are both out now.
