Album Notes & Community Reviews

Completed shortly before the sudden death of frontman Mark Sandman, 'The Night' expands Morphine's unique 'low rock' sound with strings and female backing vocals. The album is incredibly sensual, somber, and poetic, weaving deep saxophone rhythms into a distinctly nocturnal atmosphere.
