Morning Star marks The Prisoners' triumphant return after nearly four decades, showcasing their timeless blend of garage-punk, soulful vocals, and electrifying Hammond organ. Recorded in just two days, the album captures the raw energy and chemistry of the original lineup, reminiscent of their seminal debut, A Taste of Pink.
Their gig at The Roundhouse in London on May 24th promises to be a celebration of their storied career and the release of this long-awaited album. The band's influence on subsequent generations of musicians is evident, with their sound serving as a blueprint for Brit-Pop and beyond. While James Taylor's Hammond prowess gained widespread recognition post-Prisoners, Graham Day and Allan Crockford's musical journey continued through various projects, each echoing the spirit of their groundbreaking band. Morning Star stands to honor The Prisoners' enduring legacy and reaffirms their status as pioneers of the DIY music movement. It's a reminder that some things truly are worth the wait.
