Enforced geographical isolation wasn’t an obstacle for Iamthemorning, (iamthemorningband.bandcamp.com), who recorded four-track EP Counting The Ghosts remotely, with singer Marjana Semkina stuck in the UK, keyboardist Gleb Kolyadin in Russia and guitarist Vlad Avy in Canada. Featuring two original songs and two adapted traditional Christmas pieces, it’s typically gorgeous and atmospheric stuff. They’re self-releasing it with profits intended to fund their much-anticipated fifth full album, which is due out next year.
