About

In the midst of the overdriven guitars that ruled college rock in the early ‘90s, Morphine emerged with a smoldering, intoxicating sound that ditched the six-strings for the tones of Mark Sandman’s two-string bass and Dana Colley’s moody saxophone riffs. The trio’s landmark 1993 album, <i>Cure for Pain</i>, ventures into sinewy blues numbers like “Buena” that showcase Sandman’s murky vocals, as well as slinking noir-jazz groovers like “Sheila,” sounding like little else from that era with its heavy, seedy atmosphere.
