Title: Return To The Moon Artist: El Vy Label: 4Ad Product Type: VINYL LP UPC: 652637353013 Genre: Rock
Vinyl LP pressing. EL VY (pronounced like a plural of Elvis; rhymes with hell pie) is the musical collaboration between Matt Berninger, vocalist and lyricist of The National, and Brent Knopf, the Portland musician and producer best known for his work in Menomena and his more recent band, Ramona Falls. Their debut album is a project Berninger and Knopf have been thinking about for years. Their friendship spans nearly a decade, starting back when the National and Menomena played small half-empty clubs along Americas west coast. Feeling an immediate musical kinship, the pair kept in touch, Brent sending Matt occasional rough sketches of music and Matt responding with melodies and lyrics. Finally, in the winter and spring of 2014-15, they actually got together to make an album.
