Single Review - Made For Mornings - Lockeland



Was it really only March 2019 that Mark, Michael and Kyndon released their debut single, and only last summer that we were lucky enough to not only see them perform at Millport but also learn more about their personalities and sense of humour as we shared a giggle or three over breakfast each day.


Following a great guitar intro that has the Lockeland energy, Made For Mornings starts with almost a whisper, suitable for those that have just been woken up. The volume and the beat increase as we hear how the character of the song was a night owl.  It a great catchy chorus that will have you singing along the next time you hear it – “ I used to be a late night, party type, sippin’ on the high life, getting in at 5am, sleeping in till its night again…..”
  

Their intricate three-part harmonies can be clearly heard, especially on the “You”, laying the blame in the change in personality but without any resentment only admiration, it is after all a love song.


There is a lovely mix of instruments evident on the song, each taking their turn and then combining for the energetic chorus – the steel, the mandolin, the thump of the kick drum alongside the electric and acoustic guitars and Mark’s percussion underlying the whole track.


It’s a simple storyline as per Lockeland’s style, one that probably relates to most people even if your world hasn’t been turned upside down by another.


This song works in any setting. If you can’t enough of Lockeland find and follow them on Facebook and their website

Made For Mornings, the new single from Lockeland is available on all major platforms from 29 May
