Morpho

Chicago-based guitarist Kristyn Chapman will release her debut EP as Morpho on November 15, titled Morpho Season — out via Hit the North Records. The record was mixed by Slow Pulp's Henry Stoehr, mastered by Greg Obis of Stuck, and co-produced by Kristyn alongside Alex Burns, Will Erickson, and Joey Lemon.

While Morpho is Kristyn’s main project, she has also cut her teeth in multiple bands around Chicago, including recording and touring nationally in Waltzer. Out of this came her collaboration with Kelly Hannemann (Aunt Kelly) and Sarah Weddle (Sarah Weddle, bnny), who fill out the sonic picture of the record with bass and drums, respectively. This integration with the larger Chicago scene and a penchant for touring bleed into the Morpho sound. There's a grittiness tucked into the corners of Morpho Season, a sound dragged from the road that is nestled in the grooves of this record; all bruised guitar and surly tones.

With a busy run of shows and tours planned for late 2024 and into 2025, Morpho is emerging from her cocoon.
