LIST PICK
MORMOR WAITING ON THE WARMTH
Toronto musician, songwriter and producer Seth Nyquist has released a string of impressive future-pop tracks this year under the moniker MorMor, his efforts being picked up by the likes of Pitchfork, Pigeons & Planes and now your favourite new music junkies here at TMR. MorMor's third release of the year 'Waiting On The Warmth' is a truly expansive, life-affirming listening experience. Opening with a propeller-like electronic effect, the Canadian artist snaps up your attention before beaming into a relaxed studio setting accompanied by easy acoustic guitar, simple beats and a chilled barely-sung verse. Suddenly, the track bursts into animation with disco, funk and pops vibes and MorMor's voice exploding with joy, "I'll be waiting on the warmth every time it comes." These vibrant choruses are sandwiched by verses of quietened patience, highlight of one being that soulful electronic guitar riff, with all the romance of an '80s movie love scene. Listening to 'Waiting On The Warmth' is an exercise of your emotional stamina - from reflection to escapism and back again, executed flawlessly by MorMor. - Hannah Thacker
