Portland’s indie-rock duo Menomena have seen their show at Cargo sell out, but will be playing two other shows in Glasgow and Leeds before moving on to further dates in Europe.
Despite losing third member Brent Knopf prior to the recording sessions, 2012 has gone on to be a landmark year for Danny Seim and Justin Harris. Menomena’s recent new album “Moms” signalled further critical success for the group, with the likes of Pitchfork giving the album an 8.0 and The Sunday Times deeming it worthy of their “CD of the week”. The band called sessions for the record their “most collaborative and peaceful yet” and launched the album with a “Dark Side Of The Moms” laser show. They have since completed a successful US tour.
“Moms” is available now through Barsuk.
