It comes with a candidly shot video that shows the genuine streets and skies of Manchester, the perfect backdrop for the wiry guitars and deadpan vocals. They also announce their&nbsp;debut EP&nbsp;\u2018Unnecessary Creation\u2019&nbsp;which will be self released. Watch the self-directed fly on the wall video inspired by the \u201c<em>poetry of the everyday\u201d<\/em> for <em>Blank Sky<\/em> via YouTube below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/y5GDr37sqBI?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-CA&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>About the video, Annie said: &#8220;<em>The colour palette, composition and lighting of the video all mix to create a dullness; a mundane reality which is interposed with artistic references, flashes of colour and surrealism. This is an idea which extends throughout our music as well.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More about The Early Mornings<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The Early Mornings&nbsp;are a three-piece formed in Manchester in 2018, made up of Annie Leader &#8211; Guitar\/Vocals, Danny Shannon &#8211; Bass, Rhys Davies &#8211; Drums. After recording a couple of home demos and gigging around the UK, they released their debut single <em>Artificial Flavour<\/em> last year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within the band is a duality of love for both pop melodies and angular guitars. The lyrics begin as poetry which Annie then selects lines from, almost in the style of a Dadaist cut-up, to fit each song. What results is something entirely new, extricated from any previous context and devoid of preconception. If the listener wants meaning they will have to find it themselves amongst the fragmented observations, existing somewhere between nonsense and profundity, the personal is the political.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Early Mornings\u2019 debut EP \u2018Unnecessary Creation\u2019 will be released June 18th, 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>The Early Mornings have shared a gritty post-punk new track&nbsp;Blank Sky, that sits with the likes of Dry Cleaning, Cate Le Bon, Mush, and Porridge <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"http:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=36434\" title=\"The Early Mornings share gritty new single &#8216;Blank Sky&#8217;\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":36435,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[22,23,28,29,30],"tags":[10139,438,6787,925,10140,10141],"class_list":["post-36434","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-guitar-rock","category-indie","category-music","category-music-video","category-new-release","tag-blank-sky","tag-ep","tag-manchester","tag-post-punk","tag-the-early-mornings","tag-unnecessary-creation"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/D78A15FE-D360-4FFB-BB08-918B1E45FFA7.png?fit=717%2C478","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2B2TV-9tE","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":27086,"url":"http:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=27086","url_meta":{"origin":36434,"position":0},"title":"Blank City Records announces &#8216;Some Ghouls EP&#8217; split Halloween release","author":"cultureaddicts","date":"October 15, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"Los Angeles-based X-Ray Record Label specialists, Blank City Records, will release its latest EP, 'Some Ghouls,' featuring local Los Angeles \u201cRock\u2019N\u2019Roll Ghouls\u201d True Ghouls and Sea Ghouls.
