Fraser Morgan is back with a bang—and a mandolin. His latest single, “The Girl In The Library”, blends rapid-fire folk-rap, Celtic flair, and a bittersweet true story of unrequited love into something infectiously unforgettable. It’s the first taste of his upcoming EP Songs About Girls (landing June 1st), and sets the tone for a huge year that includes a 35+ date UK tour and appearances at Boomtown, Leestock, Bearded Theory, and more.
Produced by Joel Scrimshaw, “The Girl In The Library” is storytelling in its rawest, most charming form. It’s a romantic near-miss, told through breathless verses and heartfelt detail, with Fraser’s uniquely magnetic blend of vulnerability, humour, and lyrical punch. “It’s 100% a true story”, Fraser shares, “the kind of connection that never gets a proper ending”. But this isn’t heartbreak for heartbreak’s sake—it’s the kind of reflection that turns pain into perspective, and perspective into punk-folk catharsis.
The single is just the start. With an EP crowdfunded in under 24 hours and recorded DIY-style at Myopia Music Rooms, Songs About Girls captures Fraser at full creative stretch—packed with violins, cowbells, mandolins, and raw emotion, it’s a genre-hopping ride rooted in self-awareness and lyrical charm. Think Frank Turner with a touch of Jamie T and the emotional whimsy of Nizlopi—if they were all raised on pub gigs, poetry, and awkward dates.
