The Morning Benders Music Video: Promises

Critics' mixed reactions to The Morning Benders' latest album perplexes me whenever I listen to it. Big Echo has as much charm as Talking Through Tin Cans. I especially enjoy "Excuses" which you can listen to here.

"Promises" isn't a bad track on the album either and after seeing the official video for it, I think I enjoy it a bit more. It's funny how that works sometimes. The video stars only kids, but they definitely don't do things kids normally do. Very grown up activities are shown such as smoking, drinking, passing time in strip clubs, handling heavy machinery and more... Oh how the world has tainted our young ones today.

The Morning Benders: Lovefool (Cardigans cover)

Contrary to the beliefs of those who have just gotten into the music from Berkeley, California-based band, The Morning Benders have been around since 2005. They've paid their dues as they they've played countless show, put out several EPs and finally have gone on tours with big names such as Yo La Tengo, MGMT, and Yeasayer.

One of the more recent bands The Morning Benders have toured with is Grizzly Bear and it worked out in their favor. Their latest album, Big Echo, was then produced by Grizzly Bear's bassist, Chris Taylor.  Although many have been split on their reactions to the latest album, I find that there are still quite a few gems such as "Excuses."

You can take a listen to that track as well as their fun cover of The Cardigan's "Lovefool" below!
