Bleep

EL VY, a collaboration between Matt Berninger (The National) and Brent Knopf (Menomena), release their debut album Return To The Moon via indie institution 4AD. After sending each other sketches of music and lyrics for nearly a decade, Berninger and Knopf decided to get together in spring 2014 to record an album. Return To The Moon is the sound of two friends playing with songwriting and production without the pressure of it fitting perfectly into their ‘ouvre’. It’s more lively and spirited than anything in either of their back catalogues, with dark yet humorous lyrics set against a very American style of rock’n’roll and blues songwriting.
