Morningside

Easily one of my favourite albums of last year, all thanks to a random YouTube recommendation. Lucky Girl is the stand out track, super catchy and never fails to put a smile on my face. Take It Slow, Jennifer and Half-Figured are favourites too. It's just really awesome chilled dream pop, j love the production!

Happy guitar driven pop, lots of hints of summer, and she is charming live. Saw them at LiveAtLeeds 2017, loved "LuckyGirl" bought the album and really enjoyed it.

Bright music to lighten up :)

Great album. All recorded in her bedroom, as well. Amazon did a good job of moving this from their warehouse to my front door.

I know you shouldn’t pigeon-hole bands since others will have different views of who fits where, but if I had to describe Fazerdaze (or more specifically Amelia Murray) to someone who didn’t have access to the internet and Youtube I would say this is what would happen if the Sundays decided to make a Pixies album with a small sprinkling of late ‘80s Cocteau Twins; each track is a mellow backing with a reverbed guitar picking out an interesting melody and heavily reverbed/echoed lyrics over the top. Amelia has a clean voice and the naïve song-writing and melodies fit neatly with this. This is clean cut Indie Rock/Pop and the album has all the hallmarks of a first album, i.e. the songs are quite minimal both in terms of structure and lyrics, but are very neatly put together to create engaging soundscapes and laid back toe-tappers. Like other reviewers, I was drawn to Fazerdaze by “Lucky Girl” and I think this is ‘the track most likely to be the first single’ if Amelia was taking that path. The best tracks for me are “Little Uneasy” and “Jennifer”, which are slightly more complex and polished tracks. Overall this is a very pleasant and enjoyable album. I bought it on impulse having heard “Lucky Girl” and after a number of repeat plays I am still happy I bought it. If you like the Sundays/ Pixies/ Cocteau Twins type sounds then I am sure you will like this too.

A very reasonable affair of fresh vibrant indie dream pop with fine vocals & a solid analogue backing which makes you want to keep on playing it. It's a short 30min affair with highlights being 'Little Uneasy', 'Jennifer', 'Take It Slow' and just misses a few other lyrically strong melodic numbers. Nevertheless a positive enjoyable affair & hopefully Fazerdaze's next effort going one better. [the 160g vinyl LP is excellent but unfortunately there was no mp3 download card within]

OMG what can I say, LOVE IT. Buy it.
