LOS ANGELES, CA – Australian “singer, songwriter and guitar hero” (-Billboard) Hamish Anderson is excited to release the official music video for his new single “Morning Light”. It premieres today on Under The Radar Magazine.
“Anderson absolutely nails the guitar tone of a classic-era Stones track, delivering brilliantly bluesy guitar soloing, glam rock riffing, and a stomping drum part. The fervent backing vocals hint towards gospel and soul while the guitar offers up pure ‘70s swagger, hitting on a timeless mix of influences that Anderson revives with fresh energy…” – Under The Radar
For the video, Hamish says he found inspiration from “the Yellow Submarine/Sgt Pepper’s animation of The Beatles and also the quirky stop motion style that Monty Python used. It has a bit of an Alice in Wonderland through the looking glass kind of feel and I hope it takes you on a trip!”
Released last month, “Morning Light” is his first new music since 2019s Out of My Head (winner of Independent Music Award for “Best Blues Album”). It also marks the first collaboration with co-producer David Davis (Miguel, The War on Drugs, Lauren Ruth Ward). The song was remotely produced while Hamish was in lockdown in Melbourne, Australia and the band – bassist Lauren Stockner; drummer Matt Musty (Grace Potter, Train); plus soulful backing vocals by Jessica Childress (Aloe Blacc, Allen Stone) - and producer David Davis were in Los Angeles, CA.
To compliment the acoustic version he’s been performing at live streams throughout the past year, Hamish will release a stripped back acoustic version of “Morning Light” on June 25.

“Punchy, bombastic and uplifting with just a pinch of washed-out psychedelia, the single is emblematic of Anderson’s sound as a whole. From the power of the driving rhythm section to the blissful way Anderson’s vocal melody falls over the chord progression, it’s almost impossible to listen to track without feeling a pull to bob your head, almost as if the raw energy of a band playing in a room together was coming right through your headphones…“ - American Songwriter
“Featuring as much ’70s rock swagger as you can handle, with driving guitars and a striking drum beat, [“Morning Light”] comes as a revelation for Anderson, a defining moment in his still-young career.” – V13.net
“…an exquisite blend of old school and contemporary vibes, he gives life to a truly refreshing and exciting sonic realm… There’s something about his voice that just invites us in and makes us feel at ease as we are guided through this unknown world.” – Wolf In A Suit
