Available now Ghosts Before Breakfast © 2011

Morsberger's new album 'Ghosts Before Breakfast' is now available.  Long known as a literate songwriter with a taste for eclectic source material, Morsberger stretched even his own boundaries on 'Ghosts'- he comments:  "Themes are...gender, expatriation, art, and especially, again and again, mortality.  There are several historical narratives also...This is probably the most eccentric and ambitious record I've made.  It has several long form pieces that move in and out of contrasting styles, and features quite a bit of orchestration."  Morsberger's long-time band joins him on 'Ghosts Before Breakfast':  Robin Gould on drums, Jon Herington on guitar, with Zev Katz and Paul Socolow sharing the bass chair.

Early praise for the new album "Ghosts Before Breakfast":

USA TODAY LISTEN UP MUSIC PICK: "..an exquisitely plaintive postcard from a lonely foreigner."

BLOGCRITICS: "Ghosts Before Breakfast welds the patented density of Morsberger's allusive lyrics and subject matter to a variety of musical styles both within and between songs. These are songs that will keep listeners humming along as they puzzle over meanings. This is true art, and the real thing is never easy. "

SOMETHING ELSE: “Morsberger animates these songs with a nervy intellect, sounding at times as angry and gruff as Tom Waits, then as absurdly prescient as Randy Newman and then as darkly solipsistic as Bob Dylan.”
