Morphine 'The Night' (Rykodisc, 2000)
Deep, brown moodcore from Morphine's last album.
Morphine dealt in a rich, jazz-infused, bluesy take on alt/postrock, anchored around the late Mark Sandman's langorous bass. A powerful, sodium-street-light-lit trio, they remind me of the wonderful Breed.
'The Night' is the title track from their final album, released after the death of singer Mark Sandman. It's a gorgeous, moody voyage through a fog of see-sawing strings, pattering drums and deep, dark bass.
Morphine used a limited palette to great effect and a great band with acres to explore. This is a great place to start.
