The Exciting Sounds of Menahan Street Band

Menahan Street Band

Gritty, cinematic soul that sounds like a lost 1970s film score. Dusty drum breaks and eerie horn melodies recorded with heavy analog warmth.

It's like a 70s detective movie soundtrack that was found in a Brooklyn basement.

A gritty, nocturnal mystery that feels both nostalgic and slightly dangerous.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the drums on 'Midnight Morning' feel like they were recorded through a thick wool blanket, providing a heavy but muffled heartbeat.
The sudden, sharp transition into the one-minute vignette of 'Glovebox Pistol', which feels like a frantic scene change in a crime thriller.
The haunting, lonely trumpet melody that carries 'Devil’s Respite', echoing as if played in an empty cathedral.
