Latest on Menomena - New Album Due Next Month!
Today is all about newsletters. First there was the joy of Matador's monthly mailing and now there is the wonder that is a random Menomena update. The latest edition that popped into my inbox is mostly about the art project of Menomena member Justin Harris, which if you read the entire thread, sounds quite interesting. Summarized, it's a one man show for one audience member at a time. The piece is entitled "The Late Great Libido: Rock Opera" Read a couple reviews here, and listen to one of the songs, called "Yeah" (MP3).
Then, at the bottom of the email, came this announcement: "Lastly, we have a November release date (NEXT FREAKING MONTH!) for the new album. We also have a new website launching and a whole bunch of other stuff to throw at you. Please hold tight, we're almost ready."
Before Menomena launch their new web site, make sure to check out their current one and sign up for the newsletter. You won't regret it.
Condo plays tiger-hearted yet dreamy post-punk pop. People hear the echoes of early Roxy Music-classic Pulp-or even late Fugazi- with a powerful rhythm section fit to strikingly melodic keyboards and guitar, all highlighting percussive vocals dripping with attitude.
