Moreton Light - The Moreton Light EP
Callum Thornhill
With typically Manc vocals and Courteeners-esque style guitar, The Moreton Light EP is the first release from Moreton Light.
The rough and ready recording isn't a bad first attempt by the Manchester four piece. Opening with an instrumental of Surprise Me, a guitar based track that is ideal as a walk on number for live performances. Upbeat and powerful instrumentation certainly isn't lacked here.
Followed by Shoot Down The Clouds, a more chilled out acoustic feel, sort of like Manchester's answer to Kid Rock kind of summer vibes. The vocals sound drained and give off the usual lazy Manchester sound that has become popular over the years.
Opening with a whistle, Letters is another acoustic track from the EP. From the vocals it is clear that there is more emotion in this track than Shoot Down The Clouds. In comparison to Surprise Me, it is definitely a million miles away from the energetic feel.
Closing The Moreton Light EP is Aurora - the Courteeners are definitely present here, a sing along tune that you'll be whistling along to after a couple of listens. Steadily playing acoustic guitar throughout it allows the listener to focus on the lyrics of sulking into your coffee. Aurora is easily the highlight of the EP for me.
Keep your eyes and ears out for Moreton Light, I'm sure you'll enjoy them if you love chilled out acoustic vibes.
