“I’ve always been a very dramatic romantic person and feel everything very intensely, I think that really shows on this song. It like all songs on “quite early one morning” came very natural and unexpected. I had just bought an acoustic guitar and would play to myself right after waking up, to help feel less anxious. Plucking around with open tunings and humming little melodies. Some stuck in my head and, as if they morphed with my other thoughts, formed into verses and songs. Before I knew I was writing, I had this EP in front of me. As I wanted to keep the final recordings as raw and personal as the songs, I self-produced them in my Brighton apartment, embracing the sounds of the space and the imperfections in my singing and playing”
