Big Echo
indie indie pop love at first listen nostalgic indie rock
You tried to taste me and I taped my tongue to the southern tip of your body. Our bones are too heavy to come up, Squished into a single cell of wood. I made an excuse. You found another way to tell the truth. I put no one else above us. We’ll still be best friends when all turns to dust. We are so smooth now. Our edges are beaten, Drift wood whittled down. Old bodies slip when they make love. We’ll mine our sparks to shoot us above! Read more on Last.fm.

Don’t let their age deceive you. In December 2008, iTunes deemed Talking Through Tin Cans the best indie/alternative album of 2008. The Morning Benders recorded their 2010 album Big Echo in San Francisco and mixed it in Brookyln. Chris Chu and Chris Taylor (Grizzly Bear) produced it in eleven days. On the twelfth day they rejoiced. There are 10 tracks on Big Echo, which The Morning Benders think is an ideal length for an album. In March of 2012 the band announced that they would be changing their name to POP ETC. Read more on Last.fm.
