Album Rating: 4.5
Creative Portland based trio Menomena continue to grow & mature with another captivating & distinct album full of intricate melodies. Similar to its predecessors, ‘Mines’ displays the band’s skill in controlling such a diverse range of instruments & musical styles, while still making an accessible release. ‘Mines’ is a little more down-tempo however, meaning less hooks & reduced immediacy. A touch overlong at 54 minutes, it is a little front-loaded & is their most inconsistent LP yet… But the better songs here are seriously top-notch, especially the captivating ‘Tithe’. Recommended Tracks: Tithe, Five Little Rooms, BOTE & Dirty Cartoons.

Pitchfork recently had a couple of videos of them playing live - their set up is surprisingly spartan: http://pitchfork.com/tv/%23/episode/2831-menomena/1

Holy bejesus! Just saw these guys saturday and it was astounding. Out of the songs that they played, I can't think of anything that was left out or not just made better. Their set list was solid. To fill some of the sound, a few members of the touring bands joined in (guitar, trombone, and some vocals).
Danny is a beast. Just to say.
