Watch: THE MORNING BENDERS 'Excuses' live performance

Yours Truly Presents: The Morning Benders "Excuses" from Yours Truly on Vimeo.

From Stereogum:

Fresh off a hailed Brooklyn-debut-as-Brooklyn-residents, San Fran transplants the morning benders release this cameo-packed live take on Big Echo's opening track "Excuses," filmed by the Yours Truly crew back in the band's Bay Area home. Some brief words before and after set it up as benders' mainmind Chris Chu's homage to Phil Spector, and here the Wall Of Sound is built on a Wall Of SF Friends, including Chris from Girls, Vanderslice, ex-Rogue Wave/present Port O'Brien bro Gram LeBron, the Mumlers, and a bunch of strings, guys, and girls picking apart and chorally uplifting the harmonies to the standout throwback track. Worth a watch.

Big Echo is an album, and it is good.
