Fragments of the Morning

Area

A haunting, fog-drenched farewell of early Midwestern dream pop, where layered ethereal vocals drift over melancholic acoustic guitars and dark synths.

June 2, 1990 · Housetime Records

A fragile, fog-shrouded sadness that feels like watching a long-held secret slip away.

Moments Worth Listening For
The way the flute on 'Puzzle Boy' drifts through the dense fog of reverb, cutting through the heavy synth pads with a sharp, organic clarity.
The driving, keyboard-led rhythm of 'Express' where Lynn Canfield's layered vocals build into a rare, blissful pop hook.
The stark, vulnerable transition into the acoustic version of 'All Souls' where the cavernous production drops away to reveal bare chords.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
