The Morning Benders “Excuses”

16 Feb

are giving away “Excuses,” the first track off their new album, Big Echo (which was co-produced by Chris Taylor of ), for free on their website. Before you download this wonderful mp3-freebie, I suggest you watch ’ exquisite live rendition of “Excuses”, featuring what they call the “Big Echo Orchestra”, which includes other SF bigwigs like Christopher Owens of Girls, among others. This clip was gorgeously shot by the folks at Yours Truly.

Big Echo is out on March 9th on Rough Trade Records.

    It’s a great production and video. I got my hands on Big Echo luckily and its pretty tremendous. Get ready for it, this isn’t even the best track off the album.
