Great news! The Morning Bender’s new album Big Echo will be out March 9 on Rough Trade. They’ve also go a spring tour worked up, dates for which you can see after the jump. I feel like I’ve been waiting for this one a long while, so it’s great to have a date finally set. I’m really excited for this one (and Chris Taylor from Grizzly Bear produced it!)

Listen to an acoustic demo of “Hand Me Downs” at their Myspace
