"Moris Tepper, also known for his work with such luminaries as Captain Beefheart, Tom Waits, PJ Harvey, Frank Black, Robyn Hitchcock, and more is releasing his seventh offering in two decades of growth and maturation as a solo artist. Building A Nest finds him in a more intimate, reflective state. Like his past releases, this new album casts various emotions and styles. But, as the album's title suggests, a new path is blazed here; moving in a more 'homeward bound' direction. These songs reflect a large swath of Tepper's life, experiences, and adventures. Like a master cartographer, he has distilled much of it, creating an audible map leading him home and inviting us to follow. As expected from Tepper, the album is not without its surprises, humor, and despair. Tepper has never been one to create a collection of songs in the same set of colors and tones. His track orders are often filled with 'turn-on-a-dime' twists and Building A Nest does not disappoint. Intimate folk ballads like 'In The Morning,' reside next to the cardboard box delta blues, 'Blackbone Chicken,' seasoned and served with a McCartney/Stones style rocker, 'She Had To Run.'"
