Dutch quintet Morgendust are all in their mid-forties and are about to release their debut EP Storm Will Come. Tongue firmly in cheek they label themselves as a midlife rock act, a few guys who finally got around to write and record Eighties-inspired mid-tempo songs and share them with the world. All the elements are in place: swirling keyboards, a bit of echo on the guitars plus straightforward bass and drums to keep it all together.
They sing about getting older, but they are OK with that. No longer dreaming about world domination by way of music Morgendust are taking it easy. When shit happens in relationships or otherwise, they are able to wing it, pretend, and ride the wave. That is one of the perks about no being young anymore. Recommended if you like melodic powerpop with a hint of prog.
