A deep dive: Kahn Morbee’s solo EP

This six-track compilation represents not just a return to his solo roots but also an evolution as an artist. It embraces a sonic journey of self-reliance and growth.

It takes listeners through an introspective landscape, exploring touching themes such as nostalgia, mortality, and the chaotic beauty of youth.

Each lyric resonates with emotional weight, encapsulating the bittersweet moments that define the human experience.

This project is not merely a collection of songs; it is a sonic experiment that showcases Morbee's growth as both a writer and producer.

Morbee’s return to solo work is significant, especially considering that he has enjoyed a celebrated two-decade career at the helm of The Parlotones.

The band, recognised for their iconic anthems and a global touring presence, continues to craft new music while Morbee hints at a personal shift in his creative output.

He has hinted that songs that fall outside the band's stylistic scope could now find life within his solo releases, hinting at an exciting future for his fans.

Following the critically praised 2021 solo album A World At Suicide, the EP embodies Morbee’ artistry during a transformative period of his life, both literally and figuratively.
