Moms is never bleak, nor ever anything less than captivating. Make no mistake - like all of Menomena’s work it takes some time, but as with all of their work it’s worth it.»

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. no one else sounds quite like this band. 'moms' explores both a new vulnerability and resiliency within menomena, a band that's taken change not as an excuse to opt out but instead as a catalyst for growth. it's tragic and intimate, comic and endearing, personal and motivated. in 10 songs and just less than 50 minutes, harris and seim cast pop cascades into noise kaleidoscopes, chop and twist a melody until it becomes a big dance beat and build inescapable arrays of tension and texture that finally release.
