Friend and Foe shines Northwest indie songcraft through a Chicago post-rock lens, illuminating the quiet recesses with an unpredictable, experimental light. Danny Seim, Justin Harris, and Brent Knopf perform, sing, arrange, create, and destroy Menomena songs. They've released two previous albums on Portland indie label Film Guerrero, I Am the Fun Blame Monster and Under An Hour, which consists of three lengthy instrumental compositions and is the soundtrack to a modern dance performance choreographed by a friend. Friend and Foe is immediately captivating, packed with melodies that lodge themselves in you mind for hours. It's also a deep record, with many layers that show themselves over time.
