Expanding Anyway is the debut full-length album by psychedelic rock band Morning Teleportation. [5] [6] The album was released on Glacial Pace Recordings on March 8, 2011.
Spin wrote that the band's "energy can be so overpowering that it takes a minute to notice the adeptness of the musicianship — [frontman Tiger] Merritt’s exciting prog guitar riffs make the nine-minute 'Wholehearted Drifting Sense of Inertia' feel too short." [7] NPR called the album "a raw and tantalizing piece of work." [8] PopMatters wrote that Morning Teleportation's "sloppy, anything-goes aesthetic makes their debut album an unhinged ball of fun."
