Yay! Romana Falls is pretty rad and I want him to focus on that.

I suppose that is the bright side to it all. Intuit was a pretty fantastic album. Still, I'm going to miss his vocal presence in Menomena a lot. The chemistry between those three guys was really what made the band what it was.

this. Like I love menomena, but Ramona Falls at the moment is a lot cooler than me. It's still pretty cool.

Some guy from some band who decided to leave said band in order to focus on his other band.

When I saw Menomena, they looked like they within minutes of breaking up.  They just didn't seem to like each other.

Oh well. :-(

I've heard that many times. Apparently most of their albums they record without ever really seeing each other, they record their own parts and send them back and forth and never really meet or anything so it's no surprise really.

It's how the Beatles did Abbey Road, is all I have to say about it. And what little Menomena I've heard, I really liked. Maybe they should just keep doing it that way and stick to being studio-only artists for a bit.
