History
[edit]Morris is from Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Morris attended Richard J. Reynolds High School.[2] Morris was originally in a band with friends during college.[3] Morris moved from North Carolina to New York, where he was living with future Sluice drummer, Avery Sullivan.[3] All residents of the building they were living in moved out while Morris and Sullivan were living there, so they used the basement as a recording studio to make a record.[3] Morris released his first album as Sluice in 2019.[4] Morris released his second album as Sluice, Radial Gate, in 2023 through Ruination Record Co.[5] The album was named one of The Guardian's "The best albums of 2023 so far".[6] The album received a 7.2 out of 10 rating from Pitchfork.[7] Morris opened for Indigo De Souza on her 2023 headlining tour.[8]
