Menomena – One Horse
Biography
Portland, United States (2000 – present)
The band formed in late 2000, when ex-member Brent Knopf graduated from Dartmouth College and returned to Portland to collaborate with Harris and Seim. They played their first show in July 2001, at The Meow Meow, a now-defunct all ages venue in Portland.
Menomena self-released their debut album, I Am the Fun Blame Monster!, on May 20, 2003. The album was elaborately packaged in an 80-page flipbook that Seim designed and individually hand-assembled. It later received nationwide distribution through FILMguerrero in 2004. The title is an anagram for The First Menomena Album.
In 2005, Under an Hour was released as a three-track album of instrumental music written for and performed with Monster Squad, an experimental dance company based in Portland.
In August of 2006, Menomena signed with Barsuk Records although the band still maintains a relationship with their old label, FILMguerrero. It was stated that FILMguerrero would still be involved in their old catalog and future vinyl releases.
Menomena released their next album in 2007, titled Friend and Foe. It received relative critical acclaim — while some websites like Pitchfork Media praised the album for its effective modular pop, others like PopMatters criticized it for presenting a sense of feigned maturity.

I hate to say it, but after Mines, Brent Knopf leaving was the best thing to happen to both Menomena and Ramona Falls. Prophet and Moms are equally invigorating for both outlets.

Man, Moms is an amazing piece of music! I guess I was one of those who got a little cold-feeted when Brent left and I must say I wasn't considering buying their latest album, but after listening to it I have to say it is the best Menomena album so far. By my standards, at least... Absolutely amazing. A definite buy.
