Good Morning’s “Escalator” and “Mirror Freak” Will Make Your Day

Good afternoon! Good Morning, the Tyler, The Creator-approved Melbourne duo comprised of Stefan Blair and Liam Parsons, have announced their debut album Prize // Reward with the release of two new tracks, “Escalator” and “Mirror Freak”. Forget AM or PM—if you know their EPs Shawcross and Glory (released independently then re-issued by Bedroom Suck last year) this news should be enough to make your entire day.

Expect dreamy guitar pop written around Lorne beaches and suburban shopping plazas. And there’s a fair bit of saxophone on the record too, courtesy of Stefan’s dad Glenn. Nice one Glenn! “Mirror Freak” is straight-up garage rock, and “Escalator”––which is not about the escalator related crisis in Turkey today––is about having a panic attack in a shopping centre. Relatable! Recorded over two years in five different houses, these songs meander, but in a cruisey and candid way. Good Morning are taking their time, and it feels good.
