"We Rise" , the second album from Morrissey & Marshall. This whole collection is shot through with the shimmer and sunshine that evokes the very best harmony-driven acts from The Kinks to The Beach Boys to The Beatles to The Byrds blended with an energy, bite and verve all of their own. Having supported Sinead O'Connor and won over Shane McGowan and Cillian Murphy, Morrissey & Marshall are the real deal. While their debut, And So It Began, won them plaudits as the finest pair of harmony singers to have emerged for decades, Morrissey & Marshall have now upped their game yet further. The pair sing with empathy and instinctive timing: there is more to close harmony singing than simply hitting the right notes. "Greg and I have lived it together," Morrissey says. "There's a chemistry and a bond between us that goes beyond music. We've gone through it all together."
