On A Whim is the debut album for new innovative rock quartet The Morning Hours. Formed in Adelaide in 2007, Paul Vallen (guitars) and Matthew Fraser (vocals, guitars, keyboards, electronics) have known and collaborated with each other since high school days. Ben Cheney (bass) and Danny Leo (drums, percussion) complete the band line-up, having been progressively introduced in more recent times.
On A Whim is musically an ambitious album, all the more so as it was written, recorded, produced and mixed on a non-existent budget at home. The majestic end result defies its modest development. From the soaring guitars and electronics of opener “Teach Me How To Fly”, the all-in party evidenced in “Dark Brown Eyes”, the electro meets bluegrass of “Lucky”, the sonic blast of “More Time For Me Next Year” through to the 40-voice choir in “Strong All The Time” (recalling the vocal work of the Beach Boys), The Morning Hours are not a textbook rock quartet. Quieter songs such as “Never Here” and “Weighed Down” contain all manner of flourishes for a late night listening session with headphones.
On A Whim by The Morning Hours is available from www.themorninghours.com.
