Northern California-born, Brooklyn-based producer, singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Tyler Morrisette is the creative mastermind behind the solo recording project Creature In The Woods. Since starting the project back in 2014, Morisette has developed a sound and approach that sees him built productions that blend elements of psych soul, downtempo electronica and surf rock, featuring bass, guitar, baritone ukulele and the Teenage Engineering OP-1. He’s also a founding member of the Brooklyn-trio Graffiti Royale, a project that blends alternative rock and indie hip-hop.

Since the beginning, collaboration has been part of Creature In The Woods with early releases featuring Elisa Coia, Emily Clibourn, J Lately, and July Quin, In 2021 Morrisette took up vocal duties for “Summertime Love,” a track that featured his band Graffiti Royale. The song was featured in the Disney series Saturdays and in the motion picture, In Spite of Ourselves. And since then, Morissette’s vocal has increasingly become a defining part of the Creature in the Woods sound.

Over the years, Creature in the Woods has played across the New York live circuit, playing sets at SOB’s, Mercury Lounge, DROM and The Shrine while receiving airplay from KCRW.

Morrisette is currently releasing a collection of songs inspired by his late mother, which include the recently released “Silver Moon” featuring Arc Iris‘ Ray Belli (drums) and “Halo.” His latest single in the collection “Just Go” is a simultaneously dreamy and propulsive song featuring Morissette’s yearning delivery ethereally floating over African-inspired percussion, skittering beats, a looping Flamenco-styled guitar figure and glistening synths. Nodding at LCD Soundsystem‘s 45:33, “Just Go” is kinetic enough to make the listener get up and start moving or running somewhere but is anchored in overwhelming grief and heartache.

“This song was born in the Oakland hills, on a portable synthesizer in the backseat of my car following a run,” Morrisette says. “After my mom’s passing, my grief was too overwhelming, too kinetic in my body to sit still. So I ran almost everyday. Sometimes away from my grief, sometimes towards my grief, sometimes with my grief. My mantra then was ‘just go.’ ‘Just get onto the trails and run.’ So I did. And it helped.”
