“Morning Hell” is an engrossing folk track from Louis Inglis, an artist from Perth, Australia. Bird-chirping and steady acoustics join warming lyrics — “I wish you well, and honestly I don’t mind,” — with a generally plucky energy. “We wait around for the morning hell, I wish you well,” Inglis continues, pleading to “pray for the death of the morning hell,” as a playful toy piano emerges at the mid-point. The twangy, psych-friendly twist around the two-minute mark fully captivates, a momentary stylistic departure that achieves melodic and structural cohesion. “Morning Hell” is a stellar piece of songwriting from Inglis.
“This song started with a beat from a Casio keyboard I found in an alleyway,” Inglis says. “It’s about the end of a relationship and emotional burnout. The middle section is played on a toy piano.”
