If toe-tapping is wrong, then the Morning Benders don't want to be right. But, of course, they are — singer Chris Chu's smooth lilt wraps tightly around a cozy, floor-scuffing groove. Sure, the Bay Area rollers rely on Nuggets-esque vamping and folk-country rhythms but they evade the retro tag by virtue of their youthful buoyancy and an apparent comfort in the bright, new pop mold popularized by the Shins. Indeed, their latest album, Talking through Tin Cans, is a crisp, occasionally nostalgic collection that is for the most part quirky and refreshing. Tonight they honor the record's release with a set of newly minted jams.
