The Morning Light

Today's recommendation:
The Morning Light - The Morning Light


So by now you've read "The Morning Light"...4 or 5 times on this page. They're driving their name across, sorry about that. And it's a good name too...which was not my initial opinion. But their music fits the name "morning light" better than anything.

The Morning Light have created a sweet and poppy experience with their self-titled album, which was released quite a bit ago, though I never really got to brag about how much I've enjoyed them. They bring the always-fresh lightness of Mae or Copeland and add a little energetic beat to create a truly unique experience. It's the type of music that had to be a joy to write, because it's just so happy. Production is solid, and the energy is perfect for the summer.

It's hard for me even to choose a few songs out of the collection to recommend. I'd say I love the punch of "Brand, New, Friends," the rich dynamics of "Virgina," and the overly-catchy "Clouds". I could listen to this album, especially the first 6 tracks, any time I need a pick-me-up or it's just a sunny day.

Recommended for fans of Relient K's "High of 75," Mae, and smiling. The Morning Light are by no means on the menu if you're looking for serious music, but I'd say they're more than just your guilty pleasure band. If you're not singing along after a while, then you're not relaxed enough. I wouldn't be surprised if they became more popular over the next few years.

On an unrelated note, my blog is now up and running! I should hopefully update this a lot, so if you hate this music I'm sure you'll find something to like eventually. I'm a man of wide musical taste.
