The record was co-produced with Norwegian producer-engineers Hans Petter (HP) Gundersen and Daniel Birkeland. Through her own indie label, Amateur Boxer Records, Morgan released a number of subsequent albums and EPs. She released her second album *Aye Me* in 2012. It was co-produced with Tom Hartley-Booth and funded via a [Pledge Music](/source/Pledge_Music) campaign.[5] In the same year, she toured alongside the Welsh band [Paper Aeroplanes](/source/Paper_Aeroplanes).[6] Morgan launched her 2014 album *Langa Langa,* co-produced with Stephen MacLachlan, with a sold-out April launch show at [Norwich Arts Centre](/source/Norwich_Arts_Centre)[7] and an extensive tour of the UK and Europe. Tracks from *Langa Langa* have been played by a number of British DJs who specialise in the genres of folk, roots and Americana including the BBC Folk Show hosted by [Mark Radcliffe](/source/Mark_Radcliffe_(radio_broadcaster)).[8] *[The Guardian](/source/The_Guardian)* has called Morgan's music "gorgeous country folk".[5] *The Bournemouth EP* (2015) was conceived as a limited run record, packaged in a unique folding paper case with postcard inserts, with each edition signed and numbered. The first run sold out in a few hours. A second 'touring' edition was later released in the UK and Germany. Morgan also makes her own 7" vinyl records at home,[9] including the single *Natalie,* released in spring 2016. The song and the unusual format attracted attention from the BBC Folk Show and BBC 6 Music, as well as paving the way for her 2016 album *Edison Gloriette,* which was released by the Norwegian record label Drabant Music. A song from this album, *Still In Fashion*, came out on home-made 7" vinyl in time for [Record Store Day](/source/Record_Store_Day) the same year.[10] Morgan is also a featured vocalist and co-writer of a number of dance music and [trance](/source/Trance_music) songs featuring on albums from [Armin Van Buuren](/source/Armin_van_Buuren) and Beat Service, plus records which have featured in Beatport top 10 and the UK albums chart. ## Discography ### Albums - *All Swell* (2010) - *Aye Me* (2012) - *Langa Langa* (2014) - *Edison Gloriette* (2016) ### EPs - *Crosses/Pamela* (2009) - *Roaming Records Session Vol. 2* (2011) - *Richer, Thinner, Smarter* (2013) - *The Bournemouth EP* (2015) ### Singles - "Natalie" (2016) ## External links - [Official website](http://www.jessmorgan.co.uk) - [Jess Morgan](https://musicbrainz.org/artist/8f87e253-9d6f-47d6-bd47-11be96865564) on [MusicBrainz](/source/MusicBrainz) ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** ["Jess Morgan"](https://web.archive.org/web/20150418204030/http://norwichartscentre.co.uk/events/jess-morgan/). *Norwich Arts Centre*.
