Staff Picks: Good Morning - Basketball Breakups

For fans of: Aussie Indie

What they're saying: From Honey Punch Mag’s review of Basketball Breakups: “Good Morning are making guitar music that deals in the poetics of everyday life with levity, grace and grit.” Here’s RJ Frometa at Vents Magazine on the appeal of Good Morning’s songwriting: “There’s a sense of on-the-fly intimacy with this album. These songs are privy to anxiety and anticipation, the good and the bad kinds of extended reflection, and what the band term their first “requited” love songs.” And Tim Sendra from AllMusic on the record: “A reminder to anyone who might have forgotten just how good Good Morning are at landing a heavy emotional punch disguised with a seemingly casual, almost off-handed punch.”

What we say: A sneaky amount of songwriting depth for batch of charmingly ramshackle indie rock songs. Another great record from the fruitful Australian Indie underground, Basketball Breakups is the perfect album for our idling spring.
