For your Monday morning pleasure, check out San Francisco band The Morning Benders. Below are the first two songs from their breakthrough record, The Big Echo, out this month on Rough Trade.
I don't know if it's a sign of growing out of touch or just the jaded consequence of consuming as much music as possible, but this year I've found myself less than excited about whats been coming out the indie-rock/pop world. Happily, The Morning Benders have me bucking that trend. Their music is lush and detailed -- and ridiculously easy to listen to. As of last week, I've had their jangly orchestral pop playing on a feverish repeat. It's employment of soaring harmony and jangly melody is nothing groundbreaking, of course; but the way they hem it altogether is what makes their baroque music stand out amongst the throngs of myspace usuals.
