"Morningrise" is an EP by the English shoegaze band Slowdive, released in 1991. This EP is notable for featuring two tracks that were not included on any of the band's studio albums, as well as alternate versions of songs from their debut album, "Just for a Day."
The EP contains four tracks in total:
1. "She Calls": This song features dreamy guitar melodies and ethereal vocals, characteristic of Slowdive's shoegaze sound. It sets a contemplative mood with its swirling textures and melancholic atmosphere.
2. "Losing Today": Another original track, "Losing Today" continues in the same vein as "She Calls," with its lush instrumentation and introspective lyrics. The song showcases Slowdive's ability to create immersive sonic landscapes that envelop the listener.
3. "Golden Hair" (Syd Barrett cover): Slowdive puts their own spin on this classic Syd Barrett song, infusing it with their trademark shoegaze sound while paying homage to the psychedelic rock pioneer.
4. "Albatross": This is an alternate version of the song "Albatross," originally featured on Slowdive's debut album "Just for a Day." The EP version offers a different interpretation of the track, with subtle variations in arrangement and production.
"Morningrise" serves as a complement to Slowdive's early discography, offering fans a glimpse into the band's creative process and showcasing their talent for crafting immersive and atmospheric music. While it may not be as well-known as some of their other releases, the EP remains a favorite among fans of shoegaze and experimental rock.
