Just The Crust 18/12/23: Sip of Milk – Morning Song 🎶

18th Dec 202318th Dec 2023artist, bread, just the crust, local scene, new music, review, videoLeave a Comment

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Sip of Milk “Morning Song“!

after their formation in South Wales, they’ve made waves in the Manchester music scene with their intricate brand of indie rock, moulding pop harmonies with indie melodies to create a real unique brand of americana-infused songwriting. they’ve been performing across the city over the past year and really making their impact on audiences and building a name for themselves.

this is their second single, a relaxed and intimate offering, showcasing their prolific lyrical capabilities, with a real sense of down-to-earth writing and a gorgeous musical balance between the band. they’ve created a lovely track that feels uplifting, and touching at the same time, it’s a fantastic track from the band and an incredible follow-up to their debut.

you can find the track on all streaming platforms, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/album/0Y9IjhZOf3qGxJFw8BxM2X and there’s an acoustic video on YouTube available to watch at https://youtu.be/BAT4GsV5V44 too!
