Menomena - Mines
(Barsuk)
So it's four years after "Friend and Foe" and it really shows. The whole album has a feel similar to FAF but with a more complete and confident writing style. Like with all their records this is really a headphones kinda album, so many little details make these songs what they are and it pays to give them their full attention. Some songs swell and become these behemoths while others manage to haunt you and make you keep re-listening to them. It's sorta like a good movie, you keep watching it over and over and then you start picking up these little details you didn't notice before. You think to yourself "Oh, I never noticed that piano in the back, cool". Then you start enjoying the music for so many other reasons and it's great.
Name dropping : They sound like Menomena, best way to put it.
I must have changed which song to put up about five times. It has became really hard to pick, I'm listening to the album as I type so I keep changing it to the song I'm listening to.
