Built on acoustic guitars, delicate mandolin lines, grounding bass, and dynamic live drums, Fraser Morgan has created a rich, full-band sound through his new EP, I Hope You Can’t Relate. It’s a deeply personal yet universally resonant folk-punk journey. Rooted in his raw, candid exploration of mental health struggles, the EP transforms vulnerability into vibrant, cathartic art that echoes the energy of his celebrated live performances.
The five-track EP balances poignant spoken-word moments with radiant, hook-laden melodies, showcasing Morgan’s charismatic vocal delivery. His lyrics weave personal experiences into relatable narratives, offering solace to listeners who may see themselves in his struggles.
This confessional style is purposeful, as he shares, “I Hope You Can’t Relate is almost a diary—these are deeply personal experiences, and in a way, I hope they’re not relatable. If they are, I hope it helps someone feel seen.”
Tracks like ‘Ruminating’ and ‘Humanic Panic’ shine with a sincerity reminiscent of Frank Turner’s storytelling, Jamie T’s spirited edge, Nizlopi’s heartfelt authenticity and more recent comparisons like Ren Gill. Each song draws on Morgan‘s playful humor, unfiltered emotion, and a commitment to raising mental health awareness.
I Hope You Can’t Relate cements Fraser Morgan’s status as a rising star in the folk-punk scene, armed with honest songwriting and a magnetic stage presence.
