MENOMENA (London Hoxton Bar & Kitchen, 07/06/10)

Menomena

Ah, it's good to have them back. Despite rumours that this show would showcase only new material, the recently-expanded Portland quartet found room for a number of “Friend and Foe” classics as well as a slew of fantastic-sounding songs from the upcoming LP “Mines.” The addition of a new member really beefs up their sound, overcoming the inevitable limitations that came of reproducing such densely-arranged tracks with only three instruments, and even after only two days of practice, they sounded better than ever.
