My drummer in my prog band was nice enough to burn me a couple albums from the band Morphine since I told him that I was introduced to them and I was impressed. I listened to their second album, Cure For Pain, and I was not disappointed.
What I really like about Morphine is that it's a 3 piece consisting of a slide bass player with 2 strings, a saxophone player, and a drummer. It's an odd line-up, but the really odd thing about that band is just that they sound so full, and surprisingly a little heavy. They're all great at what they do, and the bass player/singer really impresses me with his playing style, and his really neat sounding baritone voice. It just sounds really tight.
That's kind of the key word with this band. Tight. Everything just flows together really well, and I think that's why they sound so full.
