Chris Chu, lead singer of the morning benders, was kind enough to take some time away while touring through Europe to put together a really great, super summer-jam mix for us. Mad vibes. From Mr. Chu:
‘if you put this mix on backwards and play it while you eat a bowl of cereal, you’ll see your entire future.’
I happen to agree — an awesome compilation that includes a brand new cover from the benders, straight from the main man himself. Stream/download it below, and check out the tracklist after the jump.
