    This bedroom project shakes with a gentle reverb and the snapping beats and upbeat percussion she programs using a drum machine. What connects Murray to her peers in Look Blue Go Purple are the similarly earnest lyrics, psychedelic dreaminess and low key production quality made modern with synths and other electronic touches.

    A fuzzed-up Pixies-worthy melodic high. [Jun 2017, p.95]

    MMorningside, the debut album from Auckland’s Fazerdaze, is a dream-pop record with both of its feet on the ground.

    Morningside is what happens when a bedroom pop record gets too big for just a single room, but all the while never loses its intimacy.

    The absence of energy and livid instrumentation produces a track like “Little Uneasy”, an item that fits more into emo. The two songs highlight the all-too-clean finish of some strings and vocals; they detract from the experience of a warm self-deprecation. For a debut record, Morningside shows its depth well.
