Morgan Huggins - Ode To Glebe

‘Changes’ is the second EP from Sydney producer Morgan Huggins, a very spiritual sequel to 2021’s ‘Anzac Bridge Filter’. Co-head of local community, event, radio show & label Lovejoy, Morgan’s production is an extension of the moments he experiences both within music & in his life apart from it.

Morgan created ‘Changes’ in a period of great flux in his life. Moving between cities he’s called home for the majority of his life, out of homes that had great impact on him, and preparing to leave it all behind in pursuit of a journey across Australia, ‘Changes’ embodies a nervous excitement that we all feel in the most momentous occasions of our lives.

“Ode to Glebe is a farewell letter to a very special suburb where a few of my most formative years were spent. Upon realizing that it was time for me to leave, I got extremely nostalgic and everything I felt while living in that rambling old terrace with its astro-turf rooftop started bubbling out of me. The joy, the growth... even those sad moments have a bitter sweetness when you look back at them.

This song is almost like a collage of all the things I learnt while I was there, the many styles of music I absorbed in my room prone to shaking whenever a truck drove past - as my tastes spread out to trance and breakbeat.

It's a dedication to the best house parties I have ever experienced and the smorgasbord of roommates who revolved through that house's never-locked doors.

I guess you could say it's also a bit of a farewell to youth - or at least a part of it.”

“September has always been a special month to me, when good things seem to happen and life starts moving again. This song was a reminder to myself that life can be good, that things can go well.”

PREMIERE: Séverine - LOOK HOW HARD IM INTO YOU (Calling Pablo Drum Re-Fix)

What started as an attempt to recreate one of my favourite songs (No Analysis by Digitalis) ended up becoming its own thing.

I don't know how "covers" or unofficial remixes work, but I think this song needs to be out in the real world and not just on my laptop.
P.S. The original is better

CRY FOR YOU (TRANCE EDIT)

The second track on Morgan Huggins' debut EP 'Anzac Bridge Filter' is all in the name.

"This is the oldest song on the EP, and came after a long period of writer's block. I had just bought a mobile recorder and went for a walk through the park I grew up opposite as a kid (Callan park in Rozelle) and I had the time of my life recording everything and anything – from sticks to cars and planes. These were all sounds that I had heard thousands of times before, but by recording them myself I made them my own, and for the first time in what felt like an age I was inspired again. 

I distinctly remember listening back to a piano recording I had made earlier that day as I looked out over the bay and feeling a sense of intimate peace. I took a photo of the water and recorded the sound my camera made as it wound back the film, and rushed home to combine it all together. This was the first time I properly combined my own organic recordings with synthetic sounds, and it was an extremely important step for me.

Morgan Huggins - Wunderbar

'Nan & Pop' is the debut release from Sydney producer, Morgan Huggins. Clocking in at nine minutes, the track is an ode to his grandparents that takes us through their life in the country, set to the tune of an emotive dancefloor. 

Purple Sneaker's Emma Jones said of the track, "taking you on a sonic odyssey, he creates an arresting but delicate soundscape, and with a thumping beat, acid synths, blooming and swelling atmospherics and samples of birds and water to ensure a strong connection to the outside world, ‘Nan & Pop’ is uplifting, nostalgic and glowing from the very first second. Huggins uses restraint and precision to invite you into an emotive, heartfelt and genuine moment, and a journey you’ll want to go on again and again."

"I wrote this song while visiting my grandparents for a week in Forster, a coastal town they retired to after a full life in the country. Usually when I see them, it’s mixed up with the excitement of seeing my whole family, but this time it was just me and them, and we spent hours talking each day. They told me all the stories I had heard before, but I also got to hear new ones that I had no idea about, and for the first time in my life I got a sense of how many people they had helped along the way.

Nan was a primary school teacher, and she witnessed the effect that the stolen generation had on the indigenous children first hand, doing everything she could to make them feel safe in a country that was immeasurably cruel to them, but never enough. She went on to start a school for disabled students, where she was the only teacher for 10 years. She smiled as she remembered the young and bright faces of yesteryear’s students, remembering the good while recognising the injustice in the world.

Everything had a beautiful sense of nostalgia, and every night after they went to bed I stayed up and made music in the afterglow. They have been together for a long time, and it shows when they talk, as they butt in over each other and bicker about the silliest details, and that really influenced the way all the melodies interact with each other. One day I hope to look back as they do."
