Between its mellow melodies and upbeat feel, The Morning Light’s new self-titled album brings indie rock lovers something new to tap their toes to.
This up-and-coming band fills its songs with crooning vocals, light guitar and keyboard for the perfect balance of hopefulness and sorrow.
It is the type of sound one would listen to while relaxing in their room or while having a lazy afternoon
with friends.
The sound is comparable to The Academy Is…, Keane, Cute is What We Aim For or Death Cab for Cutie.
Many of The Morning Light’s songs depict unattainable love, whether it be unrequited or lost, but it’s done in an upbeat and inspiring way.
One of the singles titled “Brand, New, Friends” is livelier than most songs on the album. It is filled with endearing keyboard melodies and heartfelt lyrics.
The chorus has captivating syncopation and harmonies.
One of its slow songs, “Clouds” still has a fast pace but contains a somber tone and classically melancholy lyrics.
“Some days it seems like the clouds won’t stay away,” the song states.
It is an example of the bittersweet tone that surrounds the album.
The album was released Sept. 23.
Singles of its songs had been appearing on the band’s Web site for weeks before the album release date. Songs included “Honest (Apologies Endless),” “Brand, New, Friends,” “Clouds” and “Done Writing Love Songs.”
The Morning Light is under the Fearless Records label, which also carries bands such as Plain White T’s, Sugarcult and Rock Kills Kid.
The Morning Light is currently on tour on the East Coast.
