This is Unsung – a Crack Magazine podcast on Sonos Radio where the world’s greatest artists reveal their heroes who never caught the spotlight.

Today, Samuel T. Herring of Future Islands speaks with writer and musician Stephanie Phillips about Mark Sandman, the famously elusive frontman of the 1990s Massachusetts punk/blues/rock band Morphine. While they built a loyal following and received critical acclaim in their day, Morphine never broke through to mainstream audiences. Samuel explores making it as an older musician, songs that can be a cure for pain and how much one should reveal of themselves through writing.

Songs referenced:

Morphine: Swing It Low

Morphine: Wishing Well

Morphine: Cure For Pain

Morphine: All My Way

Future Islands: Beach Foam

Morphine: The Night

Morphine: Souvenir
