Collected Pieces by Morpheme

EYMS is turning the lights back on and dusting off the tape deck with the debut release of “Collected Pieces” from Morpheme. Currently based in Chicago, the duo of Alyssa Beers and Andrew Bisenius followed their love of synthpop to offer six songs exploring existential angst, honesty, and the idea of freedom. Utilizing an array of synthesizers and drum machines to accompany manipulated voice and guitar, Morpheme creates a sound that is simultaneously brooding and emotional yet playful and inviting.

Having previously released as Wav Fuzz (Lizard Label, Bed of Roses, Les Yeux Orange), along with collaborations on An Anomaly (Offen Music) and The Creative Technology Consortium (Dark Entries Records) – Andrew’s work with Alyssa, known to many under their adventurous and irreverent DJ alias Nishkosheh, takes a left turn towards infectious pop. The two have been a source of creative inspiration for each other for the past decade, their musical collaboration inevitable. Collected Pieces was written and produced in 2024 at their home studio.

Pacific Northwest based Gumar aka Break Mode (Bed of Roses, Byrd Out, Ransom Note) rounds off the EP with two digital bonus remixes of “Somebody to Love” by stripping down the group’s cover and taking it in a heavier industrial direction. A long time friend of Morpheme as well as a prolific producer and DJ with numerous aliases (Wormbox, Freak Out!, and Cafe del Gumar) he takes many forms, and these remixes demonstrate his penchant for the darker side.
