There's a reason the drummer from Menomena always sounds so awesome when he sings in the deconstructive pop crew's three-part harmony arrangements: It's because the drummer from Menomena's a singer. And a songwriter. And has been, under the name Lackthereof, since 1997. Danny Seim's bio for the Lackthereof makes specific mention that it was Menomena that was intended to be the side project, and it's fun to continue thinking of his artistic output in those terms, especially since this first song from his forthcoming Barsuk LP Your Anchor, is a good one.
