Morphine’s unexpected swan song, The Night, is a sophisticated, bittersweet gut-punch of a record that found the Boston trio continuing to evolve even as the loss of Mark Sandman (the band's heart and soul) signaled a definitive end of the road for the legendary outfit.

Tune in as we go deep into this oft-overlooked career-capping masterpiece, Morphine’s legacy today, and much, much more.

Morphine’s Cure For Pain is an album that revels in finding hope in the darkest nights of our souls. For twenty-five years the weird magic conjured by Mark Sandman (2-string bass/vocals), Dana Colley (sax), and Jerome Deupree (drums) has remained singular in its sound and remains (oddly) peerless to this day.

This week we’re celebrating their remarkable achievement by taking a deep dive into one of the greatest albums ever made PLUS checking in with friend-of-the-pod, author, musician, and native Bostonian, Ryan Walsh to get a first-hand account of the band in it’s prime.

Luna Honey’s new album Peace Will Grind You Down, finds the the humanity in the darkness while Blood Orange’s Negro Swan serves as a guide on how to make it through it. We’re checking in with both on our latest feels-packed episode.
