Listen to Spirited New Single from Springtime Carnivore’s Forthcoming Album

L.A.-based Springtime Carnivore, also known as Greta Morgan, was in an interesting position when she set to work on her sophomore effort, Midnight Room. Morgan was living alone for the first time in her life, and she was re-surfacing from a devastating break-up.

“A lot of lyrics on the record are collaged or don’t necessarily make sense next to each other,” Morgan says in a press release. “But I guess my whole headspace was like that for a few months. I felt like I couldn’t trust my memory completely—like i was space cadeting through the weird space between sleeping and dreaming and waking and reality.”

Morgan’s debut self-titled album under the name Springtime Carnivore was released in 2014. She decided to take a different approach to penning lyrics in this out-of-focus time for her—she wrote down interesting phrases on index cards when they came to mind and later sat down and arranged them into a logical pattern.

“A lot of the themes are, like, ‘How do you lovingly change a relationship?’” she says. “How do you say good-bye to someone in a certain way and still keep him or her in your life? I feel like I was asking a lot of questions during the making of the record that I still don’t really have answers to, but at least some of the songs were exploring that territory.”
