Infinite Source Of Heat [FLAC]

Infinite Source Of Heat is Chris Morrissey’s fourth full length release for GroundUP Music and his eighth to date as a band leader. He is joined by longtime collaborators Marco Bolfelli on guitar, Bill Campbell on drums, Charlotte Greve on woodwinds and Grammy winning producer/engineer John Davis.

Morrissey welcomes some formidable featured guests on Infinite Source Of Heat, including Norah Jones (on Hard To See), Mark Guiliana (on the title track Infinite Source Of Heat) and Aoife O’Donovan (on In The Crowd).

Infinite Source Of Heat is eight new songs — written on guitars, pianos and notebooks in spare rooms in Bed Stuy, empty dumbo offices, upstate front porches, and euro-trains, then played and played on stage with a band. For the author, that process repeated is what the title describes.
