It is taking longer than expected to fetch the next song to play.
The music should be playing soon.

Considering that Dana Colley, the sax player from Morphine, plays some tracks on Monique's Bourbon Princess recordings, and that she has recorded at High-N-Dry quite a few times, which was Mark Sandman's home, I would say yes, there is definitely a connection. However her first Bourbon Princess album, Stopline, really doesn't sound like Morphine.
I think that opinion really has to do more with the fact that an electric fretless isn't very common, especially when it's the primary instrument, the pioneering sound of a song. What she did with Bourbon Princess was continue the sound of "Low Rock", a genre that Mark Sandman was the pioneer of.
Monique Ortiz has also put out a solo album, Reclining Female. Just her and her fretless, overlapping cavernous harmonies in her apartment. It doesn't sound like Morphine. It's got a dark & distant, soft & low, velvety rich feminine edge. She's original, she couldn't sound any other way. As a testimonial, go see her live. And be on the lookout, she's coming out with another album soon, and it's not Bourbon Princess. 2 sexy fuzzed out basses and drums is what I've been hearing...
A female Mark Sandman- the most complete Morphine hack I've ever heard- please tell me they have a connection to that band other than the fact that they sound pretty much exactly like them. At least that would justify it somewhat..
Monique Ortiz's voice and a baritone saxophone. Whew. Next time I'm asked what three things I would take with me to a deserted island, I now know what two of them will be.
