Menomena's "Queen Black Acid"
Having spent the morning making a series of totally unwanted phonecalls and dealing with math of all things, it's so refreshing to sit down to a fresh new video from Menomena. Look at that stance, at the swagger. These are not the little boys who were once coughing coughing, puffing up their chests to be the strongest in the world. After a year or so of near silence, they've returned as men, and as fathers, and here we have the stunning, confident results. There is not a moment's hesitation, and the fragility of their previous performances has been replaced with grace and strength. What a beautiful thing, watching this band grow up.
This was recorded during the recent ATP festival in New York state. We can assume that this one will be on the new album coming out next year from our old friends at barsuk.
