CMU Approved

Approved: The Morning Benders – Excuses

By | Published on Wednesday 12 May 2010

I thought you might appreciate something a bit upbeat this morning, so may I present The Morning Benders and ‘Excuses’, the opening track of their second album ‘Big Echo’. Drenched in sunshine, it is what I’d imagine The Walkmen would sound like if they had been around in the 50s, and wouldn’t actually be that out of place on a Jeremy Warmsley album. Lilting guitar and swaying vocals are capped off with warm strings to ensure your day is made that little bit better.

Already out in the US, ‘Big Echo’ will make it over to UK stores on 28 Jun, through Rough Trade, with tour dates over here promised later this year, just as soon as they get US dates with Broken Bells out of the way. You can download ‘Excuses’ (in exchange for your email address) via the widget on the band’s website, which you’ll find at the link below.
