   About Morning Spy
Morning Spy is a San Francisco-based indie pop band invested in electric guitar textures and fuzzy, yet intricate songwriting. The Silver Age, released by KEEP Recordings and the newborn Abandoned Love Records in February 2005, draws from much of the modern history of outsider pop, at times evoking early 70's glitter rock, reverb-drenched dream pop, the lo-fi sentiment, heady soundscapes and occasional bombast. Morning Spy's debut LP, Subsequent Light, was released in January 2004 to modest obscurist acclaim, receiving positive reviews and eventually earning a spot on a handful of "best of 2004" lists. The now sold out, limited edition Two Horses EP was released by KEEP Recordings in June 2004 to even better reviews. The Silver Age was recorded at Tiny Telephone by Aaron Prellwitz and Closer Studios by Glynn Durham in San Francisco and mixed by Prellwitz at Tiny Telephone. Myles Boisen mastered the disc, which the band considers their high water mark.

Live in Reno, NV

Morning Spy !

It's not really our thing to do the "comment blast"... so we'll only do it when our albums come out, once every two years or so - so don't worry, we won't be flooding your space ;)

Just letting you know that our first album "THINGS LEFT UNSAID" is finally all done, and it's sounding great! You can hear six tracks from it on our page. If you want a copy - and hopefully you do - just send us a message and I'll get it to you ASAP. For only 10$ we'll ship the disc anywhere in the world!

Thanks again for supporting independant music! :)
