Style
Style
The label's style of music, for which Thomas Morr coined the term plinkerpop (or plinker music), stems from the hybridization of electronica and indie or shoegaze rock. First popularized by the now-defunct German duo Herrmann & Kleine, plinkerpop typically consists of pop-rock melodies buried beneath "glitchy" synthetic tones and layers of digital signal processing effects, such as distortion and reverb. Music journalism sites often reference bands such as My Bloody Valentine, Cocteau Twins, and Slowdive when reviewing Morr Music releases; stylistic influences confirmed by the two-disc Morr compilation album Blue Skied an' Clear, which contains one full disc of artists reworking Slowdive tracks in plinkerpop style, and another disc to which Morr bands contributed original songs "inspired by" Slowdive. Other influences on the Morr roster include Kraftwerk, OMD, the Smiths, Autechre and Seefeel.
