Well renowned for his inimitable songwriting and distinctive approach to contemporary folk music,
Cahalen Morrison returns with Broken Bell, an album shaped by five years spent living and writing in Scotland.

We are thrilled to announce that Cahalen’s new record, Broken Bell is available for pre-order through Hudson Records.
Recorded in Glasgow by Euan Burton, featuring Kris Drever, Kathleen MacInnes, Fergus McCreadie,
Tim O’Brien, Norman Willmore, Kim Oehme, Brìghde Chaimbeul, Euan Burton, Tom Gibbs, Su-a Lee and Donald Grant.

Written across Aberdeenshire and brought to life through an exploratory, collaborative recording process, Broken Bell reflects the communities and landscapes that sparked its creation. Folk traditions, eclectic musical influences and organic performances sit comfortably alongside one another, creating a sonically rich record led by curiosity and Morrison’s poignant lyrics.

Written over five years, Broken Bell emerged from a desire to capture performances in their most natural form. Each musician was invited to follow their own ideas, allowing arrangements to develop through close collaboration. The result is Cahalen Morrison’s most expansive and creatively ambitious record to date, exploring stories of friendship, grief, landscape and belonging, rooted in place while reaching far beyond it.

Broken Bell is a collection that honors the places we inhabit, the people who sustain us, and the enduring possibilities of making music together.
