Menomena – Heavy is as Heavy Does [mp3] (from Moms , out now) Justin Harris and Danny Seim soldier on as a duo (minus founding member Brent Knopf who left to pursue his solo project Ramona Falls). The new album is more cohesive than previous collections, with their multi-layered, intricate approach to experimental indie rock focusing more on the subject of family relationships (but still brandishing their bare-knuckled take on friendship and sexuality). [...]

Menomena - Moms Barsuk: 2012 It’s hard to imagine Menomena without the multi-talented Brent Knopf, who in 2011 left the band to pursue work with Ramona Falls. Knopf was instrumental to Menomena’s creative process. During live performances, Knopf played keyboard, electric guitar, and glockenspiel, all while managing MIDI tracks on a laptop. For the recording process Knopf programmed an application to specifically accommodate Menomena’s democratic songwriting process. Paired with remaining members, Danny Seim and Justin Harris, the trio released unique experimental indie rock albums that helped shape Portland’s iconic music scene. In a July 2012 interview with Pitchfork’s Laura Snapes remaining members Danny [...]

Portland rock outfit (don’t call them experimental) Menomena used to be a trio. With the departure of longtime and co-founding member Brent Knopf, remaining members Danny Seim and Justin Harris took the time to re-evaluate their individual approaches to their band’s music. Inspired by the women, mothers in particular, that were either in or not in their lives, the two produced the band's most tragic, personal, and intimate work to date. Consequence of Sound caught up with Menomena’s Harris and Seim to talk about their latest album, Moms , and the ramifications [...]

When founding member Brent Knopf exited Menomena in early 2011, DEELER, the computer program he developed , may well have followed suit. That’s short for ‘Digital Looping Recorder,’ and it’s how the band writes: by passing around a mic and recording directly into a ten-track loop sampler. It’s brought forth some of the most pleasantly intricate pop arrangements this side of Elephant 6, but on 20102s Mines , it resulted in some of the group’s most tangled, maddeningly inorganic songwriting yet. With Knopf's departure, Moms is a welcome, and poignant, [...]

Not much needs to be said this week. This might be the height week of the year in terms of good music. Not only are Band of Horses out with their highly anticipated Mirage Rock album, but there's tons more to listen to. Let's briefly rattle off some names since there's simply way to much to cover. B en Folds Five ... what's not to like? Each album they come out with is pretty darn good; the equivalent of Matt Pond PA for me, really. Grizzly Bear 's highly anticipated album Shields is [...]
