Big Echo Streaming in Full!

Rough night, so I'm gonna keep it short, but The Morning Benders are streaming their new album in full on their website! I haven't had a chance to give it more than a cursory listen, but I like the sound of it so far. Definitely check it out. Click here for earlier posts about the first two tracks (including mp3s).

More Morning Benders!

Somehow I missed the release of another track from the upcoming Morning Benders album, but luckily You Ain't No Picasso included it in their best songs of February post. The more I hear of Big Echo, the more excited I get. The new song, "Excuses", further shows The Morning Benders really expanding their sound in some really exciting directions. I loved Talking Through Tin Cans, but I think Big Echo is really going to be their breakout record. Album drops March 9th, and you can pre-order it here.

Here is a previous post about "Promises", the other sample track from the album.

Morning Benders Album Incoming!

And now for the most exciting piece of news to come out so far this year: The Morning Benders have given us a taste of their upcoming album, Big Echo! I am a huge Morning Benders fan, and they are one of the few bands I have seen live twice. I saw them once at the Coffee House in our fine city of Davis, and once more recently at this year's Outside Lands. At the Outside Lands show they played almost entirely new material, only "Waiting for the War" and "Patient Patient" from the first album. What I heard I loved, and this track "Promises" further confirms that. In a world where so many second albums really don't live up, I have very high hopes for Big Echo. "Promises" definitely has a different feel from most of the songs on Talking Through Tin Cans, and I from what I heard at the concert, so do most of the new songs. I love the percussion, and Chris's vocals are as great as ever. Take a listen for yourself:

They have a bunch of US tour dates on their Myspace. If they're coming to your area, I'd highly suggest you go, they put on a very good show. Album drops March 9th.
