Morse is an album by the New Zealand musician Alastair Galbraith, released in 1993.

Critical reception

AllMusic wrote that "there's as much gentle sing-song as there is experimental exploration, often at the same time." Trouser Press called it a "superb" anthology, and noted that it is a "tad stronger on a cut-by-cut basis" than the Seely Girn compilation.

Miami New Times deemed it "his finest album," calling it "a dark, haunting masterpiece, full of drama and pathos -- the product of a songwriting vision not unlike the lysergically bent expoundings of Syd Barrett." Reviewing the Morse and Gaudylight reissue, The Austin Chronicle wrote: "Detuned, layered guitars and funny noises define these records, which are as creepy as they are beautiful, paying homage to the ghostly aesthetic of Cale and Eno."
