In October 2019, a2RK released their 3rd EP entitled ‘Morlich’.
Inspired by a short piece of music written by Andy on acoustic guitar, the Morlich Suite took shape with both Roy and Kelvyn taking the theme and expanding it through their own interpretations of the music into complete, majestic and awe-inspiring compositions.
Kelv’s experiences of the majestic Cairngorms of the Scottish Highlands, based upon his musings and ultimately lyrics, regaling stories and impressions from many visits over the years, led the band to use this as a basis for the storyline.
These compositions were then fused and honed by the band as a whole into the Morlich Suite.
1. ‘Glenmore (Just You and I)' – reflections of Loch Morlich and the Cairns – journey through idyllic, pine-coned landscape to arrive at the shores of Morlich – a song of great appreciation and, moreover a song of Love. A song of many parts – written by Kelv with contributions from Andy, Roy and Alex.
2. 'Usquebaugh' – the original instrumental that inspired the whole suite, written and performed by Andy and taken to another level by Alex’ lead work. Close your eyes, get the nose, kick back and enjoy the Water of Life.
3. 'Ben Macdui' – an imposing, instrumental piece written by Roy. A fearsome storm rages over the mountain (Macdui) – an awesome, wild, yet ultimately tranquil place of magnificence and beauty – reflected by the storm subsiding into a silence broken only by the sound of the rain.
4. 'Return to Morlich' – written by Roy, the song takes the original theme as its influence. Kelv’s lyrics tell of a return to this haven – “My spirit free”, as the song explores the concepts of Beauty, Light and Darkness.

a2RK are enormously proud of this EP, as a definitive representation of their progression towards refining and perfecting their art and defining their own unique style and character - the future is looking very exciting as they continue to write, record and perform their unique and original music.

So, join a2RK on their epic journey – follow them on social media, buy their new EP ‘Morlich’, tell your friends and see them performing live somewhere near you very soon…..
