New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Award-winning producer, musician and a highly respected artist
Boris Carloff releases his second solo album 'Morphosis' on February 16th 2015, exactly two years after the release date of his debut 'The Escapist' a record which won three music awards and featured Doug Yowell (drummer for Lana Del Ray and Suzanne Vega) and singer Ghetto Priest (Asian Dub Foundation,
Massive Attack).
Nine track record 'Morphosis' is a sophisticated blend of electronic and indie sounds with smooth vocals. Carloff recorded the album in the Icelandic studio of producer Bardi Johansson who gives the music its Icelandic signature sound.
Boris explains his choice of producer saying "I wanted to find out what the sound of my album would be if I were not the producer of it. Originally I was thinking of a British producer but then I said to myself that I was actually into a different sound than those currently coming from the UK. I researched many North European bands and ended up in Iceland".
Bardi Johansson is mostly known for his work with Bang Gang, Olafur Arnalds and new project Starwalker that saw Bardi working with Jean-Benoît Dunckel from the French electro pop duo AIR.
