Ears Wide Open: Kissed Her Little Sister
Jeff Morisano had an idea for a book, and it’s turned into an album. Morisano, a 25-year-old Connecticut native based in Santa Monica, originally wrote the music – that he’s now released as Kissed Her Little Sister – for a limited-edition volume distributed through NYC-based The Underground Library, a maker of handmade, hard-bound books. His DIY recordings, an eclectic mix of guitar, electro and samples, are something of a low-fi hall of mirrors, beat-driven forays into the experimental, something Dntel night have done if he wrote more words than beats. Pink Floyd gets sampled here, but so do obscure spoken-word snippets and old things like old harp recordings. Morisano’s 15 tracks – “10 of which I wrote when I was happy and five I wrote when I wasn’t,” says – are now available as the digital album “HIGHandLOW.”
