Boredom hurts, and Morphine is definitely the cure for pain; a smoky, dark band, Morphine weaves a sound that is not easily categorized as rock or blues.  Instead, a drummer, saxophonist, and 2-string slide bassist/singer  create something of a sensory deprivation-tank of sound, not unlike the  pleasant stupor associated with their namesake drug, and in the process,  invite us into a dark recess of sound.
