Brent Knopf of Menomena to Release Solo Record

Well, well, well. It seems those clever dudes in Menomena are constantly coming up with ways to take your hard-earned money for some songs, not that you're complaining, and this time it's in the form of a solo album. No, not from Danny Seim, or Lackthereof as you may know him, who released a solo album last year on Barsuk (and many before that on his own). No, this time it's Brent Knopf - the one pictured above looking like Jim Halpert at Menomena's 2007 Halloween show in Nashville.

The album is called Intuit, and the "band" name is Ramona Falls, which is not a very good band name, but oh well. You can purchase this record on August 18th from - who else - Barsuk. In the meantime, you can hear some of the tracks at the Ramona Falls myspace - promo track coming soon, I'd imagine, where you can also read some interesting details about the album's creation such as the fact that there are a sort-of-astounding 35 guest musicians along for the ride including people you may know from The Helio Sequence, Mirah, Loch Lomond, 31 Knots, Talkdemonic, and a bunch more.

So, get excited, and don't start worrying that the band is breaking up or anything - they're just over-creative (again, not that we're complaining), and Barsuk tells us that they are working on the next Menomena LP diligently.
