On this album, Menomena reveal a unique vision of inventive, melodic, and ambient-warped-pop, lifting off from the same experimental runway as the Brian Eno and David Byrne era guitar-electronica-collaboration. It was produced, mixed and recorded by the band. This debut album was self-released by the band on May 20, 2003. It was later re-released in 2004 by Portland-based independent record label FILMguerrero The title is an anagram for "The First Menomena Album." Read more on Last.fm.
Menomena are an experimental rock band from Portland, Oregon, made up of Danny Seim on percussion; and Justin Harris on bass, guitar, and saxophone. Both members of the band share singing duties and swap instruments frequently while recording.
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. Read more on Last.fm
