Barsuk Records is excited to announce that Menomena will release their new album, Moms, on September 18, 2012. Moms is the Portland-based band’s fifth, and their first as a duo. A teaser trailer for the album is available HERE. In support of Moms, Menomena will embark on a North American headlining tour in the fall, followed by an appearance at the revered All Tomorrow’s Parties festival in the UK.

From hooks wrapped around plummeting baritone saxophone lines and nearly inhuman rhythms to serpentine lyrical frameworks and high-concept album art, Menomena has established a singular and unmistakable aesthetic. They embed magic and mystery within pop songs that have never sat still or taken the path of least pressure.
