Benjamin Gibbard, Atlas Genius and More on KCRW

Upcoming Live Performances on MORNING BECOMES ECLECTIC with host JASON BENTLEY

Aussie indie pop band Atlas Genius have been creating a buzz at home and with a strong EP that has been topping KCRW charts. They join Morning Becomes Eclectic to preview work from their forthcoming album debut at 11:15am.

After selling nearly five million records as part of The Postal Service and Death Cab for Cutie, frontman Benjamin Gibbard finally sets forth with his first solo album and ventures into new sonic territory. Hear it on Morning Becomes Eclectic at 11:15am.

Tuesday, January 15, Calexico has always had a distinctive Southwestern influence to their music, but their latest album was inspired by a stint in New Orleans. We’ll hear the new songs live on Morning Becomes Eclectic at 11:15am.
