“FIVE LITTLE ROOMS” MP3

May 19, 2010

After a three-year wait, the experimental indie-rock trio Menomena will finally release the follow-up to Friend and Foe: Mines. Their fourth LP streets July 26 in Europe (via City Slang) and July 27 in North America (courtesy of Barsuk). Pitchfork debuted the album artwork earlier today. It’s a stereogram (3D optical illusion) of a Little Mermaid-esque statue in a forest and follows the band’s tradition of producing majorly excellent interactive packaging (i.e. - I Am the Fun Blame Monster!’s flip book, and Friend and Foe’s labyrinthian die-cut puzzle).

Pitchfork also premiered the album tracklist and the excellent new single, “FIVE LITTLE ROOMS.” (Guess the band really wants to get our attention.) Download the saxophone-and-piano cut from Menomena’s site for the measly price of an e-mail address. While you’re there, read drummer/singer Danny Seim’s “Five Little Facts” about “FIVE LITTLE ROOMS.”
