Mini Mansions - Mini Mansions - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

2010 from the Portland, OR art-rock trio. Menomena is among the leaders of the new school of indie rock musically complex, melodically and lyrically riveting, and unlike anything that has come before. Their breakthrough album Friend & Foe epitomized the artistry required to balance a modern band's storm of ideas, and it was anointed Best New Music by indie tastemaker Pitchfork, whose review of that record said, 'music this full of ideas, sections and material can come across as overstuffed, but this feels just right almost everywhere.'
