It's Called Seizing The Day

Morning Star is the brainchild of Jesse Vernon who is also involved in the glorious This Is The Kit alongside partner Kate. From his base in Paris, Jesse writes fantastic little gems of songs, so far rather overlooked this side of the channel. Maybe changing all that, Longest Way Round is the first single taken from his forthcoming album on Microbe Records. Put simply, it's a fantastic example of a true summer song. A devastating mix of laid back vocal lines and hedonistic guitar, twisting and turning together in a perfect balance of energy and lethargy. Although the album contains even more gems, this is the one that takes us by the neck and throws us outside into the sun. This is the euphoria of those first long weekends of sun, late night dancing with late night wine.

Longest Way Round is released by Microbe Records on 15th June. The accompanying album, A Sign For The Stranger, follows in August. You can also head over to Daily Growl to hear some superb tracks from This Is The Kit.
