ANNOUNCE VINYL BACK-CATALOGUE RE-ISSUE  AVAILABLE NOW FOR PRE-ORDER

PRAISE FOR GOOD MORNING “The prolific Melbourne duo level up on new album Barnyard” NME “Everything’s looking good for Good Morning” Billboard “The music has the easiness you feel looking out at the ocean” Broadsheet “Chill and organic indie rock, but there are some slight stylistic differences due to each member taking lead vocals on some Lennon-McCartney shit…” Stereogum “Country feels like the culmination of everything that Good Morning have spent their almost-decade together working towards” Rolling Stone “The Australians are coming out in full force” Paste Magazine “These are warm, inviting songs made for long drives on sunny afternoons” Frankie Magazine “Gloriously catchy dessert rock” Pilerats

Good Morning return today, with their annual two-track single release, ‘Out To Pasture / Misery‘ alongside the announcement of the upcoming re-issue of their back catalogue on vinyl. LISTEN + PRE-ORDER HERE.

Following their recent Barnyard LP, ‘Out To Pasture / Misery‘  arrives as the result of endless studio time for Good Morning, the result of a refined studio schedule that has seen the band consistently write and record five days a week. With the freedom to craft multi-layered recordings, Liam Parsons and Stefan Blair indulge in experimentation and new firsts, namely Stefan‘s attempt at writing a string arrangement, and the addition of a rollicking banjo to the Good Morning fold. Plus the studio appearance of a parent or two, with Glenn Blair appearing on horns.

In Liam‘s words, ‘Misery‘ was written when “I felt like yelling, and when we recorded it I still felt like yelling. The low key meeting the high is where I live most the time.” ‘Out To Pasture‘ features Naarm / Melbourne based violinist Chloe Sanger, who Stefan reveals “was able to take my vague instructions and turn them into something beautiful which was cool to hear. I also had a nice family day in the studio recording the horns so that was nice too. I’m not saying I’d always like to record with my parents, but that day was a good time. Ultimately I’m just making fun of myself about commodifying my darker thoughts through music. I know that I connect with a lot of darker music, and I know it has it’s place in the world, but it’s hard not to feel like it’s super conceited and dumb at times too.”

To celebrate the two-track, Good Morning have announced a long-awaited reissue of their back catalogue onto vinyl for the first time in two years. In their decade-long tenure, Good Morning have released six records of varying sound and length: Shawcross (2014), Glory (2016), Prize // Reward (2018), The Option (2019), Basketball Breakups (2019), and their latest Barnyard (2021). Now, following feverish anticipation, each album will be made available on vinyl once again via Polyvinyl on May 27. Most significant are the pressings include their debut LP Shawcross(available for the first time ever),  which lives on as a classic in the minds of many fans for its sun-dappled, loose, elegiac indie-pop across the yearning ‘Warned You‘, ‘Don’t Come Home Today‘ and ‘Once You Know‘.

Joining Shawcross includes Glory, which dives into slightly darker and weirder territories of tone and sound rendered with ruthlessly catchy hooks; and Prize // Reward, the only album by Good Morning to be recorded over an extended period of time as opposed to their short, sharp stints of recording. It’s a record looser in vision and more chaotic through its sonic journey, from the snappy ‘$10‘ to wishful ‘Escalator‘. Through The Option and Basketball Breakups, Liam and Stefan re-captured the pleasure and excitement of their best friend-ship through music. Albeit short in delivery with songs that average a 2-minute length, both make-up for time with immediately resonant tracks that command repeated listens, be-it the charmant ‘Sub‘, reverb flecked ‘You Up?‘, or grungey ‘Best Supporting Actor‘. Pre-order for Good Morning‘s discography on vinyl is available now – until stocks last. 

On top of their stacked United States tour this April/May, Good Morning have also announced a string of dates across the United Kingdom in June. SEE ALL TOUR DATES BELOW.
