I came across The Morning Benders and first thing I wondered was, “Where have you been all of my life?” The Morning Benders are an indie band from California who released their debut, Talking Through Tin Cans, in 2008 and have since toured with the likes of Grizzly Bear and Death Cab for Cutie among others. Next month they are slated to release their sophomore album, Big Echo, a collaborative effort with other musicians dubbed the Echo Chamber Orchestra. For the song “Excuses”, the band decided to fool around with the “Wall of Sound” method popularized by producer Phil Spector. This film was created by the folks over at Yours Truly. It’s a return to basics and it’s simply wonderful.

Be sure to check out The Morning Benders’ website. They are offering a free download of their song, “Promise”.
