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 live at Teeth (live on elgin) July 2024
Photo credits to the wonderful @___francisforever___

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).
