It's a little ways off, but word of
Menomena's North American tour came down today, and Lawrence made the cut. The Portland trio will stop by the Bottleneck on October 12. Live, the band incorporates prominent drums, Spoon-y piano, a baritone sax, and about a thousand other instruments, and then weaves a variety of loops through -- and somehow it all ends up sounding cohesive and smart. There's also a lot of instrument-switching. A fun band to watch.
They're touring in support of
Mines, their fourth LP, out July 27 on
Barsuk. You can download "Five Little Rooms," a teaser track on
Mines, at their
website.
