Teen Daze
Morning World
In 2010 Jamison the person behind Teen Daze had no idea what Four More Years would bring That debut EP a collection of blissful home recordings was the work of a carefree 24 yearold By 2012 things had changed as they tend to do relationships dissolved illness affected his family windows for outward communication were closing The gravity of it all made for constant output he reached for futuristic utopia with All Of Us Together found a devotional sanctuary inside The Inner Mansions and embraced hibernation on Glacier In hindsight this was an artist coping through various forms of introverted escapism While proud of the material Jamison sought to break this cycle when approaching the next record He knew it would take a few leaps of faith most directly out of his bedroom out of his comfort zone For the first time he gave up some control inviting the input of others Bearing over 30 demos Jamison joined one of his musical heroes John Vanderslice at Tiny Telephone his allanalog studio in San Francisco Beyond the immediate sonic advantages of recording to tape the sessions with Vanderslice and coproducer Simon Bridgefoot encouraged a new positivity and confidence to his craft The result is Morning World eleven fully built balanced and expressed songs the most vulnerable and honest Teen Daze LP to date Thematically Jamison paints a familiar picture a Garden of Eden a place of transcendent painfree beauty but with one key distinction it's not real and time there is finite With vocals boldly up frontsurrounded by strings piano guitar and live percussionhe details a realm that for the first time has room for more than one 'Where does life go when it's done' he poses in the closing moments of 'Post Storm' before lending an answer that evokes the omnipresent wisdom of All Things Must Pass 'a moon replaces morning sun'
