Anne Gilpin and Robert 'Hacker' Jessett are two voices that couldn't be less alike, or fit more perfectly. This vocal pairing forms the nucleus of cult legends Morton Valence, who have been around since the mid 2000s ploughing an idiosyncratic and extraordinary path, both artistically and within the industry. The band that The Guardian once described as "just about the most intriguing band on these shores", Morton Valence were always impossible to categorize, and always included an undercurrent of what they called "Urban Country". After seven astonishing and critically acclaimed albums, including "Black Angel Drifter" on Cow Pie, their eponymous eighth album — produced by the legendary BJ Cole — is out now, and the critics have spoken:

"They drift with phantom ease from spare, intimate, literate alt-country to a nuanced, weighted music bearing the marks of rock'n'roll history..." — Classic Rock 8/10
"...slow burning, emotional intensity" — Mojo ****
"Alluring and seductive." — Uncut ****
"It's as consistently pin-sharp as everything else they've done." — The Arts Desk 4/5
"Their most accomplished offering to date." — Kevin Bryant, syndicated reviewer
"Fuck it, they're magnificent!" — NARC Magazine 5/5
"A definite contender for album of the year." — Crispy Cowboy, NTS Radio
"9/10" — Americana UK
