Morphine is an extremely unique band. Bass, saxophone, drums. That's it. They're a mix between jazz, blues, and rock, describing themselves as "low rock." Singer/bassist Mark Sandman would usually play his custom two-string slide bass, and sometimes even a one-string. With that, combined with his haunting voice and Colley's bari sax, Morphine has been some of the most relaxing shit I have ever heard. In July 1999, just after their last album was completed, Sandman collapsed on stage and died of a heart attack. Morphine immediately disbanded.
