Vocalist Marjana Semkina and pianist Gleb Kolyadin have received acclaim from Anathema's Daniel Cavanagh, who recently said: "Iamthemorning emanate a certain magic. In Marjana they possess a beautiful, talented and charismatic vocalist, and in Gleb they possess the single greatest pianist I've ever met in my life."

Belighted is described as taken from a blend of influences including Porcupine Tree, Philip Glass and Kate Bush - and Porcupine Tree drummer Gavin Harrison appears on the record.
