Morning Benders x Paul McCartney = Beach Boys 2012?

Something about  this Morning Benders cover of Macca’s Ram On makes me think of what Brian Wilson’s music might have sounded like if he were born in 1980.

new favorite album // Morning Benders : “Big Echo”

The Morning Benders // “Big Echo” : 2010.03.09 : Rough Trade
genre power baroque
sounds like wall of Roccoco.  air conditioning and soft carpet.  calling for the captain ashore.  tea kettle whistles, water glass percussion and kitchen sink acoustics. a platter of ripe fruit.
notes I don’t feel I’m being over the top when I say it reminds me of a good Beatles album.  it’s quite obvious this was produced by Chris Taylor.
verdict best album of the year?

“Cold War” :
