Morningside
Amelia Murray, a.k.a Fazerdaze, makes indie pop sound effortless. *Morningside*, a reference to her Auckland suburb, shows a quiet confidence. Shades of Seam, Pixies, and Jesus and Mary Chain bleed through the gauzy, echoed vocals filled with crushing lines about self-doubt (“Shoulders,” “Misread”). As the tempo accelerates, so does the brightness—“Last to Sleep” and “Lucky Girl” are sublime dream pop. *Morningside* is a solid companion for times when you just want to be alone with your thoughts.

Auckland bedroom pop artist Amelia Murray is the latest signee to Flying Nun. She honors her label’s history of making effortless pop songs that are far less effortless than people think.
