Although still very much a fledgling band, Brighton’s Morning Smoke are clearly in possession of already finely honed skills and craftsmanship. The two tracks here are a sweetener for their EP In Euphoria, which is due in October.
DYWD roars in on pulsating drums and vocals echoing Joy Division before the song quickly unfolds with a statuesque controlled power – it’s a short sharp clarion call to grab your attention.
By way of contrast, title track, In Euphoria entices with simple, yet beatific piano and singer Milo McNulty’s haunting, near baritone voice wrapping you up with almost coital warmth. Then the band awaken you from this slumber and hit you with a glorious rage of controlled MBV style guitar noise.
Have a listen below.
