Today (21 September), London-via-Manchester three-piece, The Early Mornings release their new single ‘It’s Not What You Want’ - the first release on new label home Practise Music. Documenting times where nothing seems to go to plan, but making do anyway, vocalist and guitarist Annie Leader delivers a wry, lyrical antidote to the mundane over a driven and joyous track. ‘It’s Not What You Want’ is a song to blow the cobwebs off any humdrum day.

Following on from the release of 2021, debut EP Unnecessary Creation, ‘It’s Not What You Want’ shows The Early Mornings continue to succeed in delivering infectious, minimal post-punk, rounded off with a degree of honesty, humor and a charismatic charm not typically found within the genre.

On the track the band had to say: "This song is a bit different for us because I'm just playing chords for the verse, which I don't normally do, whilst Danny adds the melody with the bass. We just wanted to have fun with the lyrics and each line in the verse rhymes, which is unusual for us, giving way to a sort of anti-chorus"

Annie Leader and Danny Shannon met Rhys Davies and formed The Early Mornings in Manchester in 2019, after Rhys responded to an advert they placed looking for a drummer. The bands listed on the advert included The Breeders, The Velvet Underground, Fire Engines, The Feelies and Cate le Bon.

After finding their feet in the Manchester DIY scene, word of their high-energy live performances quickly spread, leading to a well-received support slot with post-punk legends The Raincoats. In the last year, the band relocated to Brixton, London, where they now call home.
