![It’s hard to imagine Menomena without the multi-talented Brent Knopf, who in 2011 left the band to pursue work with Ramona Falls. Knopf was instrumental to Menomena’s creative process. During live performances, Knopf played keyboard, electric guitar, and glockenspiel, all while managing MIDI tracks on a laptop.

And no, not sexually.

Stepping over the faded coattails of the chillwave genre, Teen Daze releases his sophomore album, All Of Us, Together, another instrumental that is sure to be sampled on summer playlists and indie art films about picking dandelions.
Totem is RYAT’s fourth album release, including the remix of her sophomore album, Avant Gold. It exists as a darker version of early works as it conjures life’s less happy, but equally important emotional qualities.
