Typhoon: “Rorschach”

By: Jack Anderson

Portland-based eleven-piece Typhoon is kicking off 2018 with a sonic storm. Thirteen years after initially assembling the group and just one year after enjoying a solo tour, frontman Kyle Morton is back with full force on Typhoon’s fourth album that was released today, Offerings. Over the course of seventy minutes the fourteen tracks on Offerings form a narrative of a man losing his memory and subsequently his identity. Powerful lyrics aside, the latest sounds from Typhoon are enthralling. Just check out the second song, “Rorschach” (and accompanying music video) and dive into the intricate mental headspace Typhoon presents on Offerings. Typhoon is stopping by KUTX’s Studio 1A on February 6th and performing that evening at the Mohawk along with Bad Bad Hats & Sunbathe.
