Friend and Foe
Menomena
It's hard to describe the music of Menomena without trotting out the cliché that they don't sound like anybody else. It's weird enough that they appear to have three different lead singers, but it's the structures of their songs which are really puzzling. They're built through some sort of collaborative live-looping process, but whatever. What results is just fucking weird. I'm not always sure I like all of it, but I'm always a little confused, and I don't necessarily become less so if I listen more carefully. This is one of those albums that, every time I think of it, I stop listening to whatever else I'm listening to and put this on instead. One of my favorites of the last year.
