morning after philThe ingeniously named Morning After Phil are back with their third EP, ‘Another Kind’. ‘Another Kind’ is the first offering from the Dublin four piece for almost two years. What they have delivered is an EP with two incredibly catchy songs that show a clear development in their sound, which has matured considerably.

The first track, I Am Here For You, is a carefully woven song, led by a dancy synth beat and reverberated guitar. It’s a summery track, that would suit being blared from the car stereo while you’re driving, during those two weeks of summer we always seem to get.

You Can’t Hide is similar to I Am Here For You, but is much more laid back and chilled out. The dreamy vocals link in with the instrumentation perfectly, and the hushed backing vocals add yet another layer to the song. You Can’t Hide is a polished track that bursts into  much more tempo affair for the last minute and a half.

Overall, ‘Another Kind’ is an enjoyable EP with two very good tracks. Both are very similar in that they are lead by dreamy vocals, a rhythmic synth beat and reverberated guitar, but it would have been nice for the rhythm section of drums and bass to shine through just a little bit more.

Morning After Phil could be on to something here, and hopefully it won’t be two years before we hear from them again.
