During the last decade, Menomena has become its own reference point. From hooks wrapped around plummeting baritone saxophone lines and nearly inhuman rhythms to serpentine lyrical frameworks and high-concept album art, Menomena has established a singular and unmistakable aesthetic. They embed magic and mystery within pop songs that have never sat still or taken the path of least pressure. Menomena will release their new album, moms, on September 18, 2012. Moms is the Portland-based band's fifth album, and their first as a duo. Menomena will embark on a North American headlining tour in the fall, followed by an appearance at the revered All Tomorrow's Parties festival in the UK.
