The Morning After Girls - Shadows Evolve download mp3 flac

It’s been said that on Shadows Evolve, The Morning After Girls do not connect with their listeners ... and perhaps that’s true; in the nature that the band’s charms are obvious, that their sound is transparent, their influences are too ever-present, that they’re intent on creating skyscrapers, when they should be capitalizing on their lush and dreamy visions, rather than trying to stand toe to toe with the likes of The Dandy Warhols, or The Sand Pebbles.

Regardless, there are some fine moments to be discovered here, ideas that are not drastically new or visionary, but nonetheless, interesting and enticing ... just listen to “Slowdown” or “Hidden Spaces.” But perhaps that’s me, forever lost, wrapped in the velvet warmth of the night, the eternal cloud chaser ... one eye open, one eye dreaming.
