!!! Announcements !!!
There is not enough room to explain how important this event was to moridori so I made a whole post about it. Check it out!
Eternally grateful this happened, thank you everyone. See you soon and make sure to follow public sector to get your hands on the left over mixtapes. It will be rare media soon! Thank you to public sector for putting this together, and everyone involved and everyone that has supported our art. Thank you, it means the world, seriously.
Awesome new things to come soon, so much in the works stay tuned.
Due to being extremely busy we didn't promote this but we were interviewed live on CKCU FM Wednesday Oct 16th at 10:00am alongside the 498,516,889 Dead Virgins for The Underground Ottawa. It was an amazing pleasure to sit down and talk with the host Graham.
You can find the recording at here (or archived here). Moridori is interviewed in the latter half one new song Anchor and a better quality recorded verson of starlight was also aired.
Make sure to listen to the first episode and tune into later episodes, Graham is a great host and this is an amazing project, it deserves you attention :). Thanks again to Graham for having us on! You can find the show here where it airs live on CKCU FM (83.1) every other Wednesday at 10:00am.

We are very blessed to be doing this show, it will be a big one for us as it's with our close friends in the scene. This honestly is a show you don't want to miss, moridori, and I am sure everyone else performing October 26th, will be giving it 110%. Try to make this one if you can, it will be a very special show :).
This was our first time opening at Parliament 2! We had to make a lot of sacrifices to make this show happen so it was a blessing to see all those who came to support. My main amp has officially kicked the bucket but we finally have a replacement. This was going to be the last show with that amp but it literally died the day of during soundcheck so rip despite working up until then. Thanks for putting up with the last minute amp change it is a bit of a headache for us having to do that especially at the house show where we are practiced in that environment and used to a particular sound. I get in my own head about this shit but if I'm being honest I loved the performance, my hands are all scared up and it just makes me smile. Anyway the amp problem is fixed now, we hope you enjoyed the set and had fun. Moridori is very important to us, its larger to us than just a band or music, so it is amazing to have conversations after the show and see the people that gave their time to see us and support us. We have hella a lot planned which we hope you will enjoy, I'll have a new website dropping with details very soon and recordings are already in the process of being made, this all literally only possible from people like you who support in small and big ways. So thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts. Moridori is a focal point in our lives right now, we are excited to record, excited to create and excited for our next shows. As I sit here right now and write I just feel the energy to leave everything out there, can't wait for next time. Thank you, to my friends, new friends and friends we've yet to meet :)

It may help to picture two girls. Mori and Dori will be their names. And what beautiful names they have: Let us first understand the demure Dori. Dori wants to die. In her death she wants nothing more than to feel it. Not the pain, no, the emotions that are beyond the pale. Behind the veil of dying. “Let me die” she says, “Feeling everything important to life” She wishes then, To feel through death. Now unto the outgoing Mori. Mori wants to die. In her death she wants nothing more than to die beautifully. A tragic spectacle, may it be attractive and discussed. Narrative behind the veil of death. “Let me die” she says, “Embodying the beautiful tragedy of life” She wishes then, To identify through death. Finally, we can get to the relationship between these two girls. Mori Dori. Mori Dori wants to live. Either girl will see in the death of the other their purposes. Dori, so concerned with feeling shall force her soul to linger longer past the objectification of death. Mori, upon witnessing, will see the inspiring form of, not a body, but something that can be meaningfully identified with. Mori, so concerned with tragedy shall perform so dutifully that every emotion could be seen in her form. Dori, upon witnessing, will see the the clear emotionality of death, allowing her to finally feel. After experiencing each other what need do they have to then die themselves? They have no need. To resolve the desire to die: Can only be life, Mori Dori We can only hope that they may stay together These two girls, the best of friends Mori Dori Living happily

About
Moridori is a sentimental project that exists out of necessity from its members, emotional hardcore outwardly, inwardly its survival.
moridori is (kind of) a portmanteau of the latin word mori (mŏrĭor) meaning to die (afflicted with death), and the french word doré (stylized as dori) meaning golden. Giving our name the complete meaning of golden death or the better suited "beautiful death". To us, these two concepts, on one hand can be complete opposites to each other but on the other completely intertwined. We have personified both concepts to show the ways in which one informs the other (although in name they take on the opposites meaning, this is intentional).
