As if the Gainesville scene, championing the likes of Hundred Waters, Levek, and Conveyor, needed another love child, but we’re not complaining. Morningbell actually could be the parental figures in this analogy, now on their sixth album with the upcoming Boa Noite, an eclectic indie rock record that stretches from Broken Social Scene to the Small Faces. “Yes Wonderful Things” is the album’s vibrant opening track, brimming with chipper orchestral bits and enough freneticism to churn our unusually cold spring into the summer we deserve:
After listening to this track repeatedly, I was trying to figure out what specifically was sticking with me. Was is inventive lyrics like “the roof of my mouth sprung a leak and secrets seep out when I speak”? Maybe the deliciously vintage sounding call and response of the song’s title? Maybe the immense production that overflows with horns, strings, bells, well paced drums and elated vocal harmonies? Well no, it’s not one of those, it’s all of them. “Yes Wonderful Things” is as addictive an indie rock song as you’ll find in 2013.
