Details:
While Chariots of Tuna began as a group of friends making passionate, intricate pop songs in a practice space in Brooklyn, the idea for the group goes back almost ten years.
At the turn of the millennium, in the underground pop hotbed of Sacramento, CA, Ben Morss began recording songs under the name “Chariots of Tuna” for indie-pop compilations such as I Made It out of Clay (Little Shirley Beans Records) and Candycore! (Asaurus Records). Sadly, he moved to New York City and turned toward other projects. But gradually the lure of the Tuna was too strong… and thus, at the close of 2008, Chariots of Tuna rose again to the surface.
It may be worth noting that Ben has also played keyboard on albums by bands like Cake and Wheatus, that he played with California acid-jazz kings 11:11 at festivals like SXSW and NXNW, that his poppy punk band, The Pilgrims, made the charts of college radio stations nationwide, that his piano playing was used in Ed Burns’ feature film Sidewalks of New York, and that his two children’s musicals have been published by Samuel French. Or that the band features Rus Wimbish (Scurvy) on bass, Shawn Setaro (Martin Bisi, Dresden Dolls) on guitar, and Dan Davine (Avenue Q) on drums.
Ben’s carefully constructed tunes, delicate falsetto harmonies, loungey vibe, and solid beats recall pop from Of Montreal to Belle and Sebastian, the Shins, and the Decembrists. Songs tell of the ache of long-distance love affairs, the faith and confusion of a woman waiting for her husband to return from World War II, and the simple self-pity of an unloved songwriter. Everything is recorded and produced in the band members’ studio and apartments.
Mostly, Chariots of Tuna want to bring great songs to you. Enjoy!
