(Press Release) “Proper Wilted,” the debut EP by Los Angeles-based band The Morning Yells is out now, and the band has also recently shared the in-studio music video for its “She Knows Exactly What She’s Doing” single via Atwood Magazine.

The song orginally premiered at The Bluegrass Situation, which picked up on the band’s pristine three-part harmonies (it helps to have a pair of siblings – Phil and Laura Stancil – in the group), and went on to air the tune on its weekly “The Bluegrass Situation Radio Hour” on Los Angeles-area radio station 88.5 FM.
 
“We grew up in a family band, playing roots-rock and folk music at festivals and local watering holes throughout Michigan, where we’re originally from,” says Phil, whose warm and reedy tones define the vocals on the EP. “Our Dad taught us everything we know about music, and we fell in love with Beach Boys, America and The Moody Blues by digging through his record collection.”

As The Morning Yells, the siblings are now joined by fellow multi-instrumentalists Trevor Smith and Curran McDowell. It’s Smith who provides the lead vocal on “She Knows Exactly What She’s Doing,”which, along with the rest of “Proper Wilted,” is finding the band compared to luminaries such as Wilco,Fleetwood Mac, and Bruce Springsteen.
 
“Proper Wilted” was recorded by Mark Rains, best-known for his work with artists as diverse as Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and Waylon Jennings, which goes a long way towards explaining the sound ofThe Morning Yells. In the span of a mere five songs, the band adeptly covers a variety of genres, with each member easily jumping from piano, to guitar, to bass. All four contribute to the songwriting.
