MORN are a striking new presence emerging from the farmlands of Monmouth, South Wales. Two sets of siblings crafting a compelling blend of what they refer to as “doom over beautiful chords.” Announcing their arrival with the breathless, runaway train chaoticism of ‘Modern Man’, MORN weave spiky guitar passages and rumbling fuzz, with an urgency that feels as though they can’t get to the end of the song fast enough. With its nihilistic gang vocal of “Life is sh*t when you’re all alone, but it’s ?ne”, and its spiral into an unhinged closing chorus of “La la la”s, MORN are marking themselves out early as a dextrous band that are happy wrestling bedlam into something cathartic. ‘Modern Man’ is a thrilling introduction to a band just getting started.

Their latest album AANK, released via FUZZ CLUB in summer 2025 and celebrated by critics and fans alike, showcases a band that continues to evolve on its own terms while staying true to its musical roots. Whether performing at international festivals or in small, smoke-?lled clubs, their live shows are immersive sonic journeys balancing on the ?ne line between chaos and a fragile sense of control.
We’re ?ying to the stars.

At the centre is Julia Reißner, raised with military discipline in Lower Austria and the USA. After an unnecessary philosophy degree, she taught herself music on YouTube using a badly out-of-tune piano that mysteriously ended up in her basement. Her work combines intellectual sharpness, rebelliousness and artistic individuality.
