After releasing a series of critically-acclaimed EPs, Toronto indie pop artist MorMor dropped his long-awaited debut in November. 'Semblance' is a breakup album that swings between devastating lows and hard-won moments of clarity, rdassaly writes.

Instead, he’s continued to carve out his own sound on “Semblance,” dabbling in post-punk and glitchy slowcore and stretching his falsetto to brave new heights .

He grew up listening to a wide range of music, from the Beatles to Motown to Feist — a blend of influences that would shape his approach to songwriting when he decided to drop out of Toronto Metropolitan University after a semester studying sociology to pursue music instead. MorMor released a second EP in 2019, titled “Some Place Else,” which solidified his standing as not only a compelling singer, but a skilled multi-instrumentalist with a detail-oriented approach to production.,” a dreamy standout from the project, was nominated for the prestigious SOCAN Songwriting Prize, which recognizes the most creative and artistic work by emerging songwriters in Canada.
