The Gainesville, FL-based quartet of Morningbell has been incredibly prolific as they’ve released 5 albums and 9 EPs in the past 9 years. Boa Noite, the band’s sixth effort continues the band’s prolific reputation while revealing that they’re a band that prefers to defy expectations and easy categorizations. Boa Noite draws from a wild melange of influences including African field recordings, Hungarian folk music, the poetry of Jorge Luis Borges, old school hip hop, Charles Mingus and others, and although the band recorded and produced the album in their home studio, they wanted an expansive, larger than life sound. 

“Yes, Wonderful Things” is the latest single from their forthcoming album, and although it has an off-kilter funk that propels the song, at it’s heart it’s a psychedelic trip of a song that will likely remind you of the Flaming Lips – but with a greater sense of childlike awe and wonder.
