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 The Morning Benders’ 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.
