This track has been bouncing around the internet for a while now, so some of you may have heard it. If not, then you're in for a treat. Ramona Falls (aka Brent Knopf, formerly of Menomena ) has been on many music blog watch-lists for a while now, and the new LP, Prophet , has been receiving rave reviews from just about everyone. The blend of artistic influences demonstrated in songs like "Spore" is breathtaking. It is simultaneously intense and calm, artful and intimidating. I wish I had better words to describe it fully, but my own vocabulary [...]
Check out an in studio clip from the electrifying, genre-bending RAMONA FALLS performing their new songs "Brevony" and "Spore" — both off their forthcoming May 1st Barsuk Records release Prophet. ( Pre Order ) Based out of Portland, Oregon, Ramona Falls is the experimental indie-rock project of former Menomena member Brent Knopf. His debut album, Intuit, was released in 2009 and featured over 30 various musicians and friends, such as Benjamin Weikel (The Helio Sequence) and Janet Weiss (Wild Flag, Sleater Kinney). Here, the [...]
Brent Knopf (formerly of Menomena) has kept things spinning with his Ramona Falls project, an outfit that produces intricate indie pop. He's got a new LP coming out, Prophet , from which we've heard a couple of tracks, " Spore " and " Sqworm ." Now, we've got the whole LP streaming below, so head there to scope it. Read More...
Brent Knopf is probably best known for his work in Menomena , but his work with Ramona Falls seems to be leading him in a really remarkable direction. The group will release their second album, Prophet , via Barsuk on May 1st, and I won't be let down if it sounds anything at all like the track below. It's got a lot of maneuvering going on musically, with slight bits of beautiful vocals thrown here and there. As it comes to a [...]
We've already heard "Spore" and now we get sister track "Sqworm" from Ramona Fall's upcoming album Prophet . The album will be Romano Fall's second album but the first since Knopf decided to leave Menomena in order to put all his focus into the new band. We'll see how that works out for him. At the very least this is an album that you'll want to get a hard copy of as you can see from the video below. Ramona Falls - "Sqworm" [...]
This morning, while walking down the street jamming to Menomena 's "TAOS", we realized we hadn't checked in on the band in a while, and so we decided to do some digging. Turns out they finished recording their new record at the end of February, and celebrated the occasion by dropping a massive mp3 of a track from the session, "Forgive Yourself". Not that Menomena is a band to be bound to any one style or structure, but for any band, this one is a doozy. Clocking in at 30+ minutes, the track is an [...]
War is part of the blooming clustered punk scene of Denmark. More specifically between the frontman of Sexdrome, Loke Rahbek aka LR, (who also co-runs the Danish label Posh Isolation) and Elias Bender Rønnenfelt the frontman of Iceage and member of Marching Church and Pagan Youth. In this project Loke Rahbek and Elias Bender Rønnenfelt are using analog synths, pedals, drums, guitars and a four-track cassette to record an amalgam of lofi, house, post punk, industrial sounds. The track Brodermordet (fratricide in Danish) is about the the Biblical tale of Cain and Abel and is the [...]
It's been quite some time since Menomena's former frontman Brent Knopf released his side project's (now his main project) debut album. Intuit received a great deal of praise from all over the internet and even landed itself on my Top Ten Album Covers of 2009 as well as Top Ten Music Videos . Things went a little quiet after that. Menomena did release their album Mines in 2010, with not much acclaim behind it, and announced Brent's departure. With all his attention now on Ramona Falls, Knopf has announced Prophets [...]
I don't know whether I had heard Avalanche by Folks some time ago, clocked it as a great song, and subsequently completely forgotten about them, or whether the wave of familiarity and quality I was struck with was purely down to the brilliance of the track. I hope it was the latter, but really, it doesn't matter. What does matter is that Folks are yet another fearsomely talented act from Manchester. Yes, the same Manchester that gave us Wu Lyf, Secret Pilot etc etc etc. The one band that may be of note however is Oasis, specifically Noel [...]
Tweet vaso link This video is just an excuse to listen to this song. The video means nothing. I suggest you just close your eyes and appreciate the simple brilliance of Menomena-inspired hip hop. ScHoolboy Q is an affiliate of the esteemed Kendrick Lamar. They are both members of the so-called Black Hippy. Mr. Q has three previous releases to his name. His most recent, Habits and Contradictions , was independently released earlier this month. I can't recommend it enough. But the song that really [...]
Portland-band, Lost Lander , has caught my ear in a bear trap called fusion. "What type of fusion?", you may ask. "What the hell does that mean?" you will more likely ask. Well... I suppose it means they've got my attention and aren't letting go. Lost Lander fuses the sounds of Fleet Foxes , Broken Bells and a whole lot of their own flavor. Matt Sheehy has done his share of solo work, as well as work the band Ramona Falls , formerly Menomena (previously featured on MTIB), but for whatever reason this [...]
