Small Stone Records
In late 1995, Morsel signed on with Detroit's Small Stone Records.
Hussey explained Morsel's transition from Choke, Inc. to Small Stone Records in the moo interview: “This EP was to be released in the Fall of '95 . . . Choke collapsed . . . The EP was released instead on Detroit's Small Stone label in April '96. Meanwhile, a new guitarist and drummer were added and touring commenced during the fall of '95 . . . (moo magazine, September '96 - issue 25).” Scott Hamilton said, “I did this compilation called Detroit Rust City. Half of the bands I picked were bands I really loved, like Morsel and Perplexa, from that Ann Arbor hipster scene (The Record, March 2007 Vol. I, Issue III).” Todd Spencer wrote in his “Amplified Notions” column, “Morsel has released a song called ‘Glangkoon’ on a split 7" single on Dayton, Ohio's Simple Solution Records. ‘Glangkoon’ is their first recorded effort with Geoff Streadwick, a local guitarist they acquired last summer. It does sound different than ‘Noise Floor,’ their Choke Records full-length of a year ago, when they had current Wig frontman (Clark S. Nova being his latest pseudonym) playing guitar. The new single was recorded at Geoff's Ann Arbor studio, 40 oz. Sound (Ann Arbor Current-Entertainment Monthly, July 1995).” Since then, the band has released three full length records, a remix record, an EP, and a handful of singles. From the period of 1995-2001, they toured extensively across the United States. In 2001, the band released its final full-length cd "para siempre," recorded at comp-ny Ann Arbor by Morsel founder Be Hussey, and new bassist Joshua Pardon, with John Vorus contributing many of the ambient tracks.

Famous quotes containing the words small, stone and/or records:
“Vulgarity cannot exist in the absence of loftier values. Once it has affected the latter, however, it wants to absorb them. Unless you want to be as weak and small as human beings, you had better stay away from them.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“Too long a sacrifice
Can make a stone of the heart.
O when may it suffice?”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Although crowds gathered once if she but showed her face,
And even old men’s eyes grew dim, this hand alone,
Like some last courtier at a gypsy camping-place
Babbling of fallen majesty, records what’s gone.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
