![[Listen] – Britney Spears – “Til The World Ends” (The Morning Benders Remix)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3334905_lg.jpg)
Now before you start giving me shit for posting Britney Spears, I DON'T CARE! Actually I do, but I'm not posting Britney I'm posting The Morning Benders . Just like when ceo did a cover of "Halo" by Beyonce or Frightened Rabbit did "Hit Me Baby One More Time", remixes are in the same vein. I mentioned on Twitter on Saturday afternoon to Jheri from GetOffTheCoast that on Frank Ocean's new mixtape he's made Coldplay listenable again, and The Morning Benders have made Britney listenable with this remix. Don't get me wrong, Britney's [...]
![[Introducing] – White Laces](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3332687_lg.jpg)
I'm sometimes amazed at the music that I hear. Scrabbling through the inbox you can be presented with bands that have been around for years touting their latest EP, download or YouTube vid. They seem to keep plugging but never get anywhere and when you listen to them you realise why - they sound like they only started playing their instruments last week. Then you stumble across a band like White Laces from Richmond VA. Incredibly they only came together less than a year ago but sound more self-assured then those other bands I was talking about. They [...]

This song could suck donkey balls and I'd still post it. Why? Because it's for a good cause, dammit, that's why!

While the Morning Benders have (hopefully) been crafting another album as awesome as Big Echo , they took the time today to drop a new album of all exclusive material to benefit Japan and all the hardships they have been going through. According to Stereogum, Chris Chu, frontman of the Morning Benders, was born in Japan, and was a week away from playing his first concert in the country before the disaster struck. I just gave it a purchase/listen and let me tell you, it is worth every penny and all the satisfaction that comes along with helping out [...]

"Last week we were scheduled to go to Tokyo to play our first show ever in Japan," begins the note Chris Chu posted to the morning benders' homepage. In addition to it being their first group trek to that country, it was also the first show the benders' frontman was going to play in the country of his birth. In other words, the sadness we all feel for the devastation that's befallen that region is no less real for the benders, and they're doing what they can to help with the new charity-only Japan Echo eight-track EP.

The Morning Benders are releasing an EP to support Japan following the recent earthquake and tsunami, which features remixes from Star Slinger, Wild Nothing and Twin Sister
This site aims to emphasize newer releases, many of which have not been released yet. Several times though, I feel an artist is so criminally under-exposed and relevant to today’s scene that a feature just begs to come out. One of 20102s most talked-about albums was Twin Shadow's Forget, a wonderful hybrid of post-punk and [...]

Crossing time and space with this one, but everything feels super here, three decades and an ocean focused like a pin prick fired from the blonde's despair-stare. Portland's Wooden Lens produced the video (in the ... read more
If you haven't noticed, the modern vintage / antique look is in right now. Whether it's Polaroids, found/aged photos, or retro commercial style, the vintage look is forever ingrained in modern culture, especially in the indie music scene. One of the most popular methods of achieving this look is the sepia-toned photograph which according to wikipedia : "is a specialized treatment to give the photograph a warmer tone and to enhance its archival qualities". Fun! Here's a mix of 10 albums, some recent and some a bit older, that feature sepia-toned photography. View the cover art and download [...]
