Good Morning are back with another track pairing to announce their most expansive and experimental project to date, Good Morning Seven (out March 22). Pre-order your copy of the 2xLP on Yellow in Cloudy Clear w/ Blue Splatter vinyl today. Written, recorded, engineered, and produced solely by the Australian duo of Stefan Blair and Liam Parsons, the 17 track double-album also marks the first time they've invited others to perform on their recordings. 

Liam's new song “Just In Time,” was completed at Stella Mozgawa’s (drummer of Warpaint) Joshua Tree studio where a pile of crescendoing synths were added to beautifully disguise the track's melancholy with an uplifting dreaminess. He explains:

"In all actuality it’s really not a very happy song. It seems to me that it’s about trying to muster up the hope that one day you’ll make it out of the shitty situation that you’ve found yourself in, and desperately searching for some self belief."

On “Ahhhh (This Isn't Ideal),” Stefan resolves his suspicious comfort in achieving his dreams, surrendering to imperfection atop a fresh dose of reverb inspired by Nina Simone and MGMT (his favs).  

"Lyrically it began about my feelings surrounding being in this band at that point, and sorta moved towards a more general song about finding a state of content within your life. Sorta like I grew up wanting to make music for a living, and now that just makes me anxious and suspicious? Just like people I know who go down the path of getting married and having kids etc yet still struggle with their dependencies on drugs and alcohol - nothing’s ever truly ideal, but you gotta appreciate those in between moments when you’re not overwhelmed by it all."

Watch/listen to both tracks below - 

Narrowed down from 70 songs, Good Morning Seven is a testament to taking your time. After a decade-long friendship, the band challenged their usual process of recording an album in just days by allowing a much longer gestation period. Combined with the steady development of their own studio spaces and gear slowly accumulated or kindly borrowed, the result sees the two emerge as a confident creative partnership with every intentional step taken along the way laid out for our indulgence. 

"We built a studio at the end of 2020 and spent the next year and a half writing and recording this record. The last three Good Morning albums were made in a matter of days, so we wanted to stretch out and take a long time on this one. We also talked about wanting to make a more melodic, brighter record - one with more vocal harmonies and samples and synths. It's a personal milestone. We wanted to change the palette, to "go long" and we were pleasantly surprised with what came out. It was like writing our first album, for the first time again."
