"Things Are Clear This Morning" holds true to its title: it definitely is a morning song. Steve Shiffman & the Land of No‘s delicate, sleep-in-the-eye vocal gently guides you through the track, accompanied by a heartily strummed acoustic guitar. There’s even a synth-like electric guitar at the end that gives off just enough of an atmospheric texture to suspend the song in mid-air. Steve Shiffman successfully transports you to a warm breeze on a clear morning. The band’s new record Double Life is out February 2nd on Later Records, with a release party at Club Berlin on February 10th. – Geena Kloeppel
