Overview
’Morning View’ is a masterful blend of Alternative Rock, exploring a rich palette of moods and textures that captivate throughout. The band effortlessly fuse atmospheric soundscapes, creating a deeply immersive listening experience. Balancing introspection with bursts of energy, the album moves between mellow, reflective passages, keeping you on your toes from start to finish. Brandon Boyd’s distinctive vocals add a haunting, emotive quality to the album, showcasing his impressive vocal range, and this is paired with insane guitar-driven songs. ‘Morning View’ feels like a journey, capturing both the beauty and complexity of human emotion. The band nearly manages to capture the essence of Malibu, where the album was recorded, within the sonic landscapes of their tunes.
Recommended for those looking to both relax and unleash their energy whilst listening to a near complete Alternative Rock record.
