I Am the Fun Blame Monster!

Menomena

Jagged baritone sax loops and restless percussion built through custom software. A jittery, inventive debut that redefined the geometry of 2000s indie rock.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden entrance of the distorted baritone saxophone on track 1 that anchors the jittery percussion.
The hypnotic repetition of iron in track 5 building into a dense wall of rhythmic tension.
The nearly nine minute sprawl of the final track where the loops slowly unravel into a murky finish.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
