SLIPS, the new project from Alex Bhore and Teddy Georgia, follow their danceable debut with Convent, a drumless, slow burning single and video that shows the duo’s range runs well beyond distortion.

Today, SLIPS, the new band formed by old friends and musical powerhouses Alex Bhore and Teddy Georgia, are excited to release their new single, “Convent” and its accompanying music video directed by Adrian Smith. The song debuted today at God Is In The TV Zine and can be shared on all digital platforms.

Produced and mixed by the duo, with mastering by Dave Cooley, “Convent,” the second single from SLIPS, is a tender, cinematic departure from the aggressively danceable debut “Drawing Lifelines On.” Where one track bangs down the door, the other whispers through the keyhole: no drums, a slow synth arpeggio bubbling beneath Georgia’s intimate vocals. The lyrics open with a wardrobe choice and a disclaimer: “I wore all black and all white to the convent / I don’t plan on joining, but I wanted them to like me.”

Rather than dictate how listeners should interpret “Convent,” SLIPS invites them to find their own meaning in the song. “When talking about music, I’m always torn between letting the song go out to live its own life without much explanation, and the egoistic urge to lay my little lyrics bare,” Georgia explains. “I’m not going to steal the listener’s chance to meet their own meanings today…But what I will tell you is that this song was born in the back of a cab, en route to the ruins of a 17th century convent; and also that this song has a dead dog buried in it. Go nuts.”

The song’s video captures the same raw, unguarded energy that runs through the song. While following a high-energy debut with a slow-burning track might be an unexpected move for a new band, SLIPS makes clear that its edge extends well beyond distortion.

Outside of SLIPS, Alex Bhore and Teddy Georgia maintain distinct multimedia practices spanning music, visual art, fashion, and performance. Together they have scored music for film, as well as an immersive sound installation for Meow Wolf. Separately, Bhore’s work at Dallas-based Elmwood Recording as a composer, producer, mixer, and multi-instrumentalist has led to studio collaborations with Nelly Furtado, AJJ, Friko, and Wild Beasts. He also played drums in post-rock instrumental group This Will Destroy You from 2009 to 2016, later working as a video game composer on Halo Infinite.

Georgia’s practice moves between musical and textile art, multimedia installations, experimental sound, art-pop, and live performance. Her work encourages audiences to consider art as a mutually beneficial exchange, connecting the energy of the viewer with their surroundings. She is also the founder of a small fashion accessories label producing made-to-order pieces from upcycled and ethically sourced materials under the tagline “slow fashion for classy freaks.” Alongside SLIPS’ latest release, Georgia is touring Europe in November as bassist and vocalist for Death Valley Girls in support of their latest album, Welcome To Earth.

Though both artists spent years developing their individual creative practices, their coming together in SLIPS brings those distinct perspectives into a shared musical language. The space between their independent work has helped shape the band’s singular sound, built on the intuition and creative exchange that emerge when two established artistic worlds collide.

Toronto’s MorMor has a new album in the world and a tour to take it on the road. No One Alive Will Listen, out now via Promised Land Records, closes its run-up with the final single “Ecstacy” and a run of European and US dates for 2027 that begins in London in January.

LISTEN: “Ecstacy” | No One Alive Will Listen

Toronto artist and multi-instrumentalist MorMor released his new album No One Alive Will Listen via Promised Land Records on October 30th, sharing a final single “Ecstacy” ahead of the album release. “Ecstacy” captures the magnetic pull of destructive patterns, exploring the fine line between desire and self-destruction, and the ways we can become addicted to the very things that unravel us.

Speaking about “Ecstacy,” MorMor shares, “The song draws a parallel between addiction and a person, less about substance itself and more about an addiction to chaos, to traumatic love, and that kind of emotional intensity. At the same time, it marked a shift for me sonically. I leaned into more modern production rather than shying away from it, exploring new technology and textures I might have avoided before for being too on-the-nose. It was about embracing that instinct instead of resisting it.”

Alongside the final single MorMor announces a run of European and US tour dates for 2027. Beginning in London in January and continuing on to Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin and more the tour then heads to North America for dates across Toronto, Montreal, Brooklyn and Los Angeles. Find full tour routing below.

MorMor’s album No One Alive Will Listen releasing via Promised Land Records was recorded between London, Toronto, and at Rick Rubin’s Shangri-La studios. The album is punchy, spacious, gentle, and richly textured. The new song also follows support of the album from Vince Staples who played MorMor’s previous track “Like Heaven” featuring Celeste on his Apple Radio show.

The album moves through sleek and confident electronic pop into moments of pure devastation, offering a cross-examination of Nyquist’s psyche and delving deep under his skin as he asks probing questions about the patterns of his life. Speaking about No One Alive Will Listen MorMor shares, “This album captures a time where I felt very alienated. I had felt hopelessly misunderstood. Within me was a desire for love, but I had looked for it in the wrong places. At first there was chaos, an old version of me was forced to perish, and then beauty slowly arose.”

The new track follows previous singles, “Hard To Say Goodbye”, “Hurt You”, “Dawn 2”, “Don’t Need It” and “Touch” as well as a the previously mentioned collaboration with Celeste on “Like Heaven”. Celeste’s contribution to “Like Heaven” emerged entirely unplanned, as she ended up joining the session and recording her vocal on the spot, capturing a raw, immediate energy that couldn’t be recreated. Other collaborators on the album include producers Hudson Mohawke (Ye, ANOHNI), Jack Peñate (SAULT), and Russell Boring (JOBA/Brockhampton) alongside Kane Ritchotte (Haim, Portugal. The Man), John Keek (Dijon, Mk.gee, Vegyn), and Caleb Laven (Frank Ocean, SZA, Joy Again).

Following two acclaimed EPs – Heaven’s Only Wishful in 2018 and Some Place Else in 2019 – his debut album Semblance (2022) was by turns contemplative, jittery, wistful, gentle, and generous. His distinctive voice – a svelte tenor that sits comfortably higher in pitch – leaps out of the speakers, alighting over the sturdy bass lines, guitar riffs, and drums he played himself. Celebrated for his unique blend of indie pop, R&B, and dreamlike synth textures, the artist soon cemented his reputation for emotionally rich soundscapes marked by vulnerability and sonic depth.

MorMor has garnered attention across the media landscape, earning praise and support from press outlets such as The Observer, The Times, The Fader, Pitchfork, NPR, Hypebeast, Pigeons & Planes, Wonderland, NME, Dazed, CLASH, DIY, The Line of Best Fit, PAPER, High Snobiety & more. On the airwaves, his music has been spun on the likes of BBC Radio 1, BBC 6Music, Apple Music 1 and NTS, with love from tastemakers including Jack Saunders, Jamz Supernova and Matt Wilkinson.

As a live phenomenon, MorMor has embarked on major headline tours across the US, UK and Europe, and has played festivals such as Field Day, Primavera Sound and Pitchfork Festival.
