I Am the Fun Blame Monster! (Plus Nine B-Sides)
“There's hardly a bolder statement you could make about your band's penchant for innovation than writing software specifically to aid your own distinctive compositional style. This is what Brent Knopf did; his program is called Deeler, and it allows his band, Menomena, to improvise short ideas and use them as the building blocks for broad, loop-based compositions which they then learn to play live.”
Friend and Foe
“Following through on the potential of their outstanding debut, I Am the Fun Blame Monster, Portland, Ore.-based Menomena craft beautifully arranged modular pop out of improvised loops, creating the first great indie rock record of the new year.”
Mines (Bonus Track Version)
“On their third pop album, Menomena dial back a bit, focusing as much on conventional songwriting as jamming, looping, and editing, to very good effect.”
