New Morning Benders - "Crosseyed"

Cali jangle kids the Morning Benders are done with the piecemeal, EP approach, finally getting down to the business of releasing a full-length album. First single "Crosseyed" is ready for a listen, still rooted in the acoustic side of Chutes/Inverted World Shins, but that hasn't stopped us from enjoying 'em yet, and this is another in that line of kicked back, tuneful track with heart. Listen at MySpace, and while you're there have a pass at a few of the forthcoming LP's b-sides (we suggest the misty ballad "Morning Fog").

Bygone Benders...

Hey,
I am really digging this track by "The Morning Benders." Another band I've recently discovered that I think you might like is White Shoes and the Couples Company. You can download their songs at mintyfresh.com.

The morning benders are great. I've seen them live and it's just as good as the record. Everybody should check out their ep's.
