Seeking to create something more human and melodic, Van Hoen assembled a rotating cast of collaborators, including Zoe Niblett, Craig Bethell, Neil Halstead (Slowdive\/Mojave 3), and Wendy Roberts, blending fractured dance rhythms, live instrumentation, and intimate vocal performances into something both deeply personal and effortlessly cinematic.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom the haunting reimagining of The Carpenters’ ‘No-One In The World’ to the slow blooming emotional arcs of ‘All Your Own Way,’ ‘Folie’, and ‘The Girl With The Fairytale Dream’, the album’s 13 tracks form a widescreen narrative of melancholy and beauty. Reviewers at the time hailed it as “a subtle delight” and “sheer God-given genius”, comparing its mood and texture to Massive Attack, This Mortal Coil, and Portishead, yet noting its entirely singular voice.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis reissue restores Morning Light to vinyl for the first time in over two decades. A crucial artefact from the fertile intersection of experimental electronica and ethereal pop, ‘Morning Light’ stands today as one of the label’s most quietly influential releases.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA1 Locust - Your Selfish Wayss\u003cbr\u003eA2 Locust - Morning Light\u003cbr\u003eA3 Locust - Just Like You\u003cbr\u003eA4 Locust - One Way Or Another\u003cbr\u003eA5 Locust - Folie\u003cbr\u003eB1 Locust - No-one In The World\u003cbr\u003eB2 Locust - Clouds At My Feet\u003cbr\u003eB3 Locust - Summer Rain\u003cbr\u003eB4 Locust - Ancient Hometown\u003cbr\u003eB5 Locust - The Girl With The Fairytale Dream\u003cbr\u003eC1 Locust - All Your Own Way\u003cbr\u003eC2 Locust - Juke Box Heart\u003cbr\u003eC3 Locust - The Daydream Girl From Sealand\u003cbr\u003eC4 Locust - I Am The Murderer\u003cbr\u003eD1 Locust - Some Love Will Remain Unsaid\u003cbr\u003eD2 Locust - Shadow Play\u003cbr\u003eD3 Locust - On The Horizon\u003cbr\u003eD4 Locust - Just After Sunset\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ROM","offers":[{"title":"2LP","offer_id":51348046053693,"sku":"AMB7942LP","price":28.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0096\/1884\/9839\/files\/b532e6f8-fb09-8f3b-ddb1-a0fb63223ac4.jpg?v=1770033641","url":"https:\/\/sisterray.co.uk\/products\/morning-light-2026-reissue","provider":"Sister Ray","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
