Review

Embracing the warmth of vinyl and the intimacy of live performances, Morningsiders' debut album "A Little Lift," released in 2019, effortlessly melds folk-pop with indie finesse. This 12-track odyssey, spread across a rich 41 minutes, is a heartfelt journey through varied emotions—riding high with the uplifting "Empress" and diving deep into the reflective depths of "Ashes."

Magnus Ferguson's soulful, textured vocals, Reid Jenkins' ethereal fiddle, and Robert Frech's evocative piano weave an intricate sonic tapestry. Each track bursts with detailed arrangements and harmonies, making it both introspective and grand.

Standouts like "Somewhere in Between" and "Honey Hold Me" showcase the trio's knack for balancing irresistible hooks with reflective lyrics. Firmly rooted in folk-rock, yet unfraid to experiment, "A Little Lift" offers a fresh depth and complexity. This impressive debut establishes Morningsiders as a rising luminary in the indie-folk cosmos. - Margo
