Magnetic Morning released their debut six-track EP as "The Setting Suns" on iTunes on 18 October 2007. Soon after, they renamed their collaboration after a 2003 song by Franklin's moniker Toshack Highway "due to an already existing entity with a name too close for comfort". [4] A five-track CD version of EP was released through DH Records on 19 April 2008. [2] Magnetic Morning followed with their first full-length album A.M. a little over a year later in January 2009.
