Studio Reports: Menomena
Menomena To Return With ‘Moms’
Menomena will return on September 18th with their fifth studio album entitled Moms. This album marks the first time Menomena has recorded as a duo, with co-founder Brent Knopf taking leave to spend time on his solo project. That leaves the duo Justin Harris and Danny Seim, who were able to write, record, and release Moms in the two years since their last full-length release, Mines.
The tracklisting for Moms is as follows:
1. Plumage
2. Capsule
3. Pique
4. Baton
5. Heavy Is As Heavy Does
6. Giftshoppe
7. Skintercourse
8. Tantalus
9. Don’t Mess With Latexas
10. One Horse
The ten-song effort will be released on Barsuk Records and the band will follow the release of the album with a headlining North American tour in the fall with an appearance at the UK All Tomorrow’s Parties festival. You can find all those dates below.
