POP ETC Announce Debut Album 10 April 2012 in The Morning Benders

POP ETC are excited to announce that they will release their debut, self-titled album on 11th/12th June 2012 via Rough Trade Records.

The album was recorded by the band over the course of 2011 at both Headphone Cave and Pull Studios in New York City as well as in Los Angeles at SoundEQ Studios. Though largely produced by the band, the album also features contributions from Danger Mouse and Andrew Dawson (Kanye West, Lil’ Wayne, etc).

Until late last month the band was known as The Morning Benders. They announced the name change to POP ETC via this announcement ( www.themorningbenders.com ) and at the same time released a free mixtape featuring all new material ( www.popetcetera.com ).

Yesterday afternoon Pitchfork announced the release with an extensive interview with the band’s frontman Chris Chu. You can read more about POP ETC on Pitchfork

-The Morning Benders

Not many people know this, but I was actually born in Japan, and although I only lived there for a couple years, I’ve always had a deep love for the country and its people. I cannot express how sad and helpless I’ve felt reading about everything that is happening there right now, and even though we couldn’t be there, we wanted to do everything we could to help. We love you Japan.
