HMS Morris return with a new single “Bwletin Brys” and a series a Festival appearances

This summer HMS Morris will be releasing their first new music since 2023’s Dollar Lizard Money Zombie. Their new single is called Bwletin Brys, a driving, angular, sci-fi frolic about eco-aliens taking over the management of Earth. Bwletin Brys (‘Emergency Transmission’) begins with an overwhelmingly powerful spaceship settling in Earth’s orbit and transmitting the message that humans’ mismanagement of the planet will no longer be tolerated.

The normal wake-up calls in a case like this (climate instability and species loss) have effectively been ignored. Even dispatching one of their agents to lead the human counter-movement (Greta Thunberg) has proved ineffective. Regime change is the appropriate next step. The song channels the lightness and glee of Hitchhikers Guide, but the rapid leap forward in artificial intelligence technology over the last few years brings an element of urgency to the questions raised. Would we be better off if human’s weren’t in charge? Should we be happy to hand over control of Earth to a species/entity that prioritizes ecological harmony over cheap smartphones and beef?

It combines a gritty drums/bass/guitar rhythm section with inter-galactic vocal processing and a dazzling range of blipdy-blops. Its effect has been described as ‘comparable to having your brain smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped around a large gold brick’. Signed to Cardiff’s iconic Bubblewrap Collective (home to Georgia Ruth, The Gentle Good and Carwyn Ellis), HMS Morris are a band who thrive at the crossroads of art-pop, theatricality and fearless exploration. Described as “innovative, forward-thinking pop music” (Earthly Pleasures), “strange and beautiful” (Electronic Sound), and “a multi-dimensional sound that traipses across hitherto unexplored regions” (Clash), their music defies easy categorisation – and that’s exactly how they like it.

You can hear HMS Morris live at a number of Welsh Festivals over the summer. In October they will be embarking on a three date tour with Remei de ca la Fresca – a Catalan band formed in a remote farmhouse in the Montseny mountains. HMS Morris & Remei de ca la Fresca became friends after meeting at SUNS Festival – Udine. Expect a Catalan x Welsh Extravaganza
