    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.

    With Morningside Murray has delivered on the promise of her early singles, creating an album that’ll be much-loved.

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

    Like a Russian doll which opens to reveal evermore intimate and foetal musings on communication, self-awareness and comfort, this debut album has, at its core, that which sits on its surface: raw, honest emotion. It wears its heart on its sleeve.

    Though there is some tightening up to be done, and a feeling that Murray has some more grand moments like “Misread” waiting, Morningside is a wonderful half hour spent in her company.

    She crafts some of the most complete and worthwhile dream pop in recent memory.[Apr-Jun 2017, p.80]

    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 album itself lingers in the mind as a perfect pick for when something is needed to soothe an uneasy soul or make a crappy day a little more palatable.
