Menomena crafts the sort of album that requires your full attention. Juggling a wild sense of experimental pop, psychedelia and indie.

The first album, Deep Cuts, is very very good but sadly flawed as well, they go a little bit too trancy on a couple of tracks, but reign that in for most of the album. Best tracks are Hearteats, Pass This On, and the epic You Take My Breath Away.
The new album called Silent Shout is a very different prospect, the cheesy dance has been stripped away to concentrate on synth harmonics giving the album a ethereal but sometimes queasy (in a good way, honest) feel.

I've been listening to Deep Cuts for a while - I borrowed a cd from a friend with Postal Service and this on it. I've only just managed to find out that it's the Knife.
I love the cheesy steel pan keyboards in Pass it On... they make me feel like summerAnd Heartbeats is bittersweet - and I like the pace of Rock Classics a lot as well.
I've just listened to bits of Silent Shout - it's very different, but it grates my spine in a good way.

now this one is probably going to be primarily for the uk'ers. and please forgive me if i am displaying some serious lameness here but....
any of you blokes got any recs for garage records? any artists or comps that stick out to anyone, or that are noteworthy? since 2000, ive decided i really like the sound, and want more. but as there is no scene over here, at least not one that i am involved with anyways. so to dl stuff, i would essentially be throwing a dart at the phone book as it were.
and also, wtf is the difference between garage and 2 step?
and? am i correct in assuming that garage is the more popular of the two.
like i said, if my knowledge of the underground uk dance scene is a bit dated, please forgive me. its been a while since i had the opportunity to buy records in england.
TonyWilson wrote:Brock, 2 Step is a subgenre of Garage and it's called 2 step because every 2nd and 4th kick from the regular "four to the floor" dance sound is removed. But there's micro breaks all over the place, moments when the beats seem as though they are holding in a breath. Some of it's got a skankin feel to it as well. Check out the producers/remixers Dem 2 and Some Street. This is all fairly old though now as Garage has really been subsumed by Grime but I don't really know much about that.

Grime a mixture of UK Hip-Hop, drum'n'bass, Garage, techno it's a huge melting pot of styles.
