In their near decade long tenure, in the wake of Barnyard’s release, Good Morning have been internationally celebrated, with widespread acclaim from Rolling Stone, NME, Stereogum, The Line Of Best Fit, Consequence, Alt Press, Paste, DIY Mag, Music Feeds, The Music, Northern Transmissions, KCRW, 6Music
Thoughtful, catchy, idiosyncratic, and nearly twice the average length of their back catalogue, Barnyard is all the things one might love about Good Morning, this time around presented with the fat trimmed and the edges sharpened. Recorded at Wilco’s famed studio The Loft, for the first time in a long time the record was made with the help of an outside engineer and featured as an international release on a record label not operated by a friend, but instead, Polyvinyl, joining the likes of Alvvays, Julia Jacklin, STRFKR, Kero Kero Bonito and joining the ranks at Sub Pop Publishing.
Those seeking grand reinvention or earth-shaking hubris in Barnyard will come up short. This is an album of good, well-made, finely-written songs, notable for its purity and coherence of vision, but not by any means a concept album; it is a record significant in Good Morning’s history, but not one with such self-importance that it would consider itself historically significant for all. That is likely what those drawn to it will love about it. Including the singles ‘Country‘, ‘Burning‘ and ‘Depends On What I Know‘, Barnyard is not too little and not too much. It’s just right – just Good Morning. The local leg of their world tour across so-called Australia follows their regional Victoria tour throughout 2021. Plus the band will play their biggest headline show to date at the Belasco Theatre. Supports will be announced soon!
