It Starts at the Water
I awoke upon the shore Totally unsure of the landscape I had before me Finally a place of endless wonder And it was then that I saw you there Wind... See the rest of the song lyrics

    Without a doubt, this is his poppiest album--but he still holds on to his penchant for a good vocal-less groove.

    Jamison's most captivating and personal album yet.

    Recorded in just ten days, Morning World stands as Teen Daze's most effortless work to date, coming off thoughtful and patient without ever succumbing to the burden of "style."

    Jamison already knew how to craft a provocative sonic landscape. Getting the lyrics to match, on the other hand, is still a balancing act.

    While it's admirable that he's trying new things and broadening his scope, Morning World still feels like an experiment or a transitional stage.

    The album skates from tumbling tracks like “Pink” and “Morning World”—which are reminiscent of the slightly math indie-rock sound of the solid Polyvinyl band Aloha—to a jam like “It Starts At The Water,” which features static washes floating in and out of the atmosphere while an underground buzz burrows beneath a simple, chugging beat.

    Teen Daze’s latest effort is ultimately a pastoral that succeeds when it is allowed to gallop forward on the strength of its skilled instrumentation, and falters whenever Jamison opens his mouth.
