The Morning Benders are another band who manage to make classic sounding almost sunshine pop music feel new and fresh. Last year they released "Big Echo" on Rough Trade, an album which I've grown to love more and more with each listen, and I loved it on first listen, so that's a lot. I've already posted their video for "Promises" which was one of my favourite videos of last year so here's my other two favourite tracks from the album, the truly brilliant "Excuses" and "Cold War".
They also released "Talking Through Tin Cans" in 2008 which features the fanatastic "Dammit Anna" and "Waiting For A War".
The band also do a fine line in covers on their Soundcloud including this fine Cardigans cover.
