Click here to view the embedded video. I just picked up the new Ramona Falls album Intuit (out now via Barsuk Records ), which is the solo side project from Menomena member Brent Knopf. If you like Menomena, then Brent's solo project is like a familiar slice of bread but instead of whole wheat you're getting whole grains. And like nine of them. Here he is talking about the recording process while laying down tracks for "Going Once, Going Twice." Ramona Falls (named after [...]

I wouldn't have chosen "Dreamsucker" for Grooms ' new video -- there are so many great ones to choose from on Rejoicer -- but this will suffice for now I suppose. In any event their love of guitar arpeggios really shines here, as does their affection for Sonic Youth and 31 Knots . Death By Audio's latest coup of a signing has put out a helluva video treat here too, full of [...]
"Intuit" is a pleasant surprise. An injection of happiness into your life. Well maybe it shouldn't be a surprise, because this debut release from Ramona Falls represents one more branch in the Menomena family. Ramona Falls is Brent Knopf and "Intuit" was written and performed by Brent, with guest appearances from about 35 friends, including members of The Helio Sequence, Mirah, Loch Lomond, 31 Knots, Talkdemonic, Nice Nice, Tracker, Dat'r, Dear Reader, 3 Leg Torso, and Matt Sheehy. Like Menomena, the music of Ramona Falls is brimming with ideas and overflowing harmonies. The instrumentation through out [...]
Ramona Falls: Intuit Menomena songwriter, Brent Knopf releases his first solo album under the guise Ramona Falls. The album, Intuit features collaborations with musicians from the Helio Sequence, Mirah, Loch Lemond, 31 Knots, and Talkdemonic, among others. Ramona Falls has little glimpses of Menomena, mainly the use piano and dark pathos. But Knopf does go beyond that sound; he mixes dark melodies with pop sensibility all while mixing acoustic, electric, and electronic instrumentation. It's like Interpol and Neutral Milk Hotel had a child who is really into Postal Service. The album's lead single [...]
Portland gilt schon seit längerem als Hippster-Mekka. Andere Städte mit einer solchen Dichte an guter Indie-Musik wären schon lange zu Szene-Hochburgen geschrieen und geschrieben worden. Nicht Portland. Aktueller Beweis für den guten musikalischen Nährboden Portlands: Brent Knopf, Kopf von Ramona Falls. Portland im Nordwesten der USA gelegen, gilt als Stadt der Rosen. Das trockene Klima im Sommer und feucht-nasse Wetter im Winter begünstigt das Wachstum der Rosen und der vielen Arten. 550 sollen es an der Zahl sein. Doch Portland hat nicht nur in punkto Flora etwas zu bieten, sondern auch für [...]
Out today is Intuit from Ramona Falls, another solid release from the folks at Barsuk. Intuit opens with the rumble and ticks of "Melectric," revealing movement to be seen throughout this expansive recording. Cold acoustic stirrings open standout track, "Russia" before heading into a cloud hoping section pronounced by keys. Otherwise, "Bellyfulla" is the album favorite, embellished with kick and clean acoustic, background harmonies, airy space, and with a mood something close to resolution, even celebratory. Ramona Falls is Brent Knopf of trio Menomena with guest appearances by members of The Helio Sequence, [...]

There are certain things a musician can do to get my attention. One of the best ways is to toil in the underground for years with little fanfare or outside notice, then release a record at the height of your powers and send it to me. Another method is to create a SHIT-LOAD of amazing art (Stephen Spera did this, for example, and I showered him with grateful critic spunk ) along with your music, then hit me up when the two truly intersect. [...]

Well, well, well. It seems those clever dudes in Menomena are constantly coming up with ways to take your hard-earned money for some songs, not that you're complaining, and this time it's in the form of a solo album. No, not from Danny Seim, or Lackthereof as you may know him, who released a solo album last year on Barsuk (and many before that on his own). No, this time it's Brent Knopf - the one pictured above looking like Jim Halpert at Menomena's 2007 Halloween show in Nashville. The album is [...]
