One day later, Morton gifted the world with the release of his personal album titled <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=p7rBDSYKYYw\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>What Will Destroy You<\/em>.<\/a> &nbsp;At face value, this title could allude to war, addiction, or love. Although Morton affirms that the album focuses on the latter, its raw and personal lyrics could be considered a nod at all three. Providing intimate vignettes into a variety of different relationships, Morton pulls from personal and imagined experiences of the famous four-letter-word.<\/p>\n<p>The record unfolds like a story being told by a wise soul, fitting enough for the old-at-heart artist. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve always sort of felt like an old guy, so I\u2019ve always identified with being old,\u201d says Morton. \u201cSo now that I\u2019m getting there it\u2019s kind of reconciling.\u201d &nbsp;For the poor souls experiencing heartbreak, Morton speaks like a seasoned veteran, empathetically understanding and reassuring. With lyrics like,&nbsp;\u201cMy god it\u2019s been so long \/I see you\u2019re moving on\/ you\u2019re right, we\u2019re not dead yet,\u201d from the track \u201cThe Aftermath,\u201d Morton encapsulates the familiar sting of reigniting a lost love, if only for a night. Closing the anecdote with, \u201cWhen I leave you will owe me nothing \/when I leave it will all mean nothing,\u201d Morton reflects on the impermanence of love and gives all the wounded hearts of the world a shred of hope &#8212; and another reason to cry.<\/p>\n<p>Built on a solid foundation of intricate guitar riffs, honest lyrics and a litany of instrumentation, Morton crafts a sound that is entirely his own. According to Senior Music Supervisor, Ron Lewis, the record \u201cfeels very Autumnal..Pulling back all the layers of a (sometimes) blustery 11 piece band reveals a vulnerable, highly personal and confessional songwriter at the core.\u201d &nbsp;In a letter to his fans, Morton notes: \u201cMost of these songs were written in about a day many of them while walking aimlessly around Portland, others wrote themselves in the moments just before sleep.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Without Typhoon\u2019s band of 11 musicians at his disposal, Morton had to brush the rust off of his orchestral talents. \u201cIt\u2019s all me, you can kind of tell,&#8221; Morton says.&nbsp;&#8220;When you hear a little bit of violin on that you\u2019ll be like \u2018Wow, (expletive) the Typhoon string player got kinda bad for this.\u2019 It\u2019s me,\u201d Kyle jests. &nbsp;All humility aside, Morton\u2019s \u201cbedroom project\u201d evolved into a full-bodied narrative, encapsulating themes of love, sexuality, fear and loss, and reminding us that pain is fleeting and heartbreak is universal. As Morton\u2019s track, \u201cPoor Bastard\u201d states: \u201cIt will come back eventually, you will be reborn.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Listen to the album <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marmosetmusic.com\/artists\/kyle-morton\">here<\/a> or order it on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.soundstagedirect.com\/kyle-morton-what-will-destroy-you-vinyl-records.shtml?gclid=CIOnp6yo1s8CFQwnvQod8V8Ghg\">vinyl<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sqs-block-button-container--center\" data-animation-role=\"button\" data-alignment=\"center\" data-button-size=\"small\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marmosetmusic.com\/artists\/kyle-morton\" class=\"sqs-block-button-element--small sqs-block-button-element\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">License Kyle Morton<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sqs-svg-icon--outer social-icon-alignment-center social-icons-color-black social-icons-size-large social-icons-shape-circle social-icons-style-border\" >\n<nav class=\"sqs-svg-icon--list\">\n    <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MarmosetMusic\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"sqs-svg-icon--wrapper facebook\" aria-label=\"Marmoset\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/p>\n<div>\n        <svg class=\"sqs-svg-icon--social\" viewBox=\"0 0 64 64\">\n          <use class=\"sqs-use--icon\" xlink:href=\"#facebook-icon\"><\/use>\n          <use class=\"sqs-use--mask\" xlink:href=\"#facebook-mask\"><\/use>\n        <\/svg>\n      <\/div>\n<p>    <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/marmosetmusic\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"sqs-svg-icon--wrapper twitter-unauth\" aria-label=\"Twitter\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/p>\n<div>\n        <svg class=\"sqs-svg-icon--social\" viewBox=\"0 0 64 64\">\n          <use class=\"sqs-use--icon\" xlink:href=\"#twitter-unauth-icon\"><\/use>\n          <use class=\"sqs-use--mask\" xlink:href=\"#twitter-unauth-mask\"><\/use>\n        <\/svg>\n      <\/div>\n<p>    <\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/marmosetmusic\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"sqs-svg-icon--wrapper vimeo\" aria-label=\"marmoset\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/p>\n<div>\n        <svg class=\"sqs-svg-icon--social\" viewBox=\"0 0 64 64\">\n          <use class=\"sqs-use--icon\" xlink:href=\"#vimeo-icon\"><\/use>\n          <use class=\"sqs-use--mask\" xlink:href=\"#vimeo-mask\"><\/use>\n        <\/svg>\n      <\/div>\n<p>    <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC6_Fa0ef9xGRvs9aFp6mnww\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"sqs-svg-icon--wrapper youtube\" aria-label=\"marmosetmusic\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/p>\n<div>\n        <svg class=\"sqs-svg-icon--social\" viewBox=\"0 0 64 64\">\n          <use class=\"sqs-use--icon\" xlink:href=\"#youtube-icon\"><\/use>\n          <use class=\"sqs-use--mask\" xlink:href=\"#youtube-mask\"><\/use>\n        <\/svg>\n      <\/div>\n<p>    <\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/marmosetmusic\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"sqs-svg-icon--wrapper instagram\" aria-label=\"Marmoset\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/p>\n<div>\n        <svg class=\"sqs-svg-icon--social\" viewBox=\"0 0 64 64\">\n          <use class=\"sqs-use--icon\" xlink:href=\"#instagram-icon\"><\/use>\n          <use class=\"sqs-use--mask\" xlink:href=\"#instagram-mask\"><\/use>\n        <\/svg>\n      <\/div>\n<p>    <\/a><br \/>\n  <\/nav>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On September 19, Kyle Morton turned 30.
