“Ether,” Features Special Guests Lzzy Hale (Halestorm), Howard Jones (Light the Torch), Mark Morales (Sons of Texas) and John Carbone (Moon Tooth)
MORTON’s second solo offering
is primarily acoustic and consists of three original tracks and two covers. MORTON
cites “All I Had To Lose,” released last week as a single, as “one of the
most personal songs I have ever written.”
As with last year’s solo debut, Anesthetic, the guitarist
enlisted the talents of various musicians and vocalists to bring his songs to
life. In addition to Morales, who regularly tours as part of MORTON’s
live band, Ether features appearances by Lzzy Hale (Halestorm),
Howard Jones (Killswitch Engage, Light the Torch), John Carbone (Moon
Tooth). The EP is made up of three original songs and two covers that once
again showcase MORTON’s diversity as a musician. Ether was
produced and mixed by Josh Wilbur (Lamb of God, Gojira, Trivium).
