(Still) Listening To >> The Morning Benders

The new album by the Morning Benders, who I posted about back in February just before the new album came out, is so good.  

Called Big Echo, the album has a lot more depth and interest than the previous album (though it is good too), and on the whole sounds much more musically mature, which probably has more than a little bit to do with the fact that it was co-produced by Grizzly Bear's Chris Taylor.

 

Check out this awesome video in which Christopher Chu employs Phil Spector's "wall of sound" recording technique and piles a bunch of musicians into the studio at once for an amazing atmospheric orchestral sound.  I'm loving it!!
