gmoney Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 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 ‘Return To The Moon’ will be released on October 30th via 4AD. The 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 America’s 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. Tracklist: 1. Return To The Moon (Political Song for Didi Bloome to Sing, with Crescendo) 2. I’m The Man To Be 3. Paul Is Alive 4. Need A Friend 5. Silent Ivy Hotel 6. No Time To Crank The Sun 7. It’s A Game 8. Sleepin’ Light (feat. Ural Thomas) 9. Sad Case 10. Happiness, Missouri 11. Careless Pre-orders will include a signed poster from Matt and Brent, while supplies last. LPs will include a MP3 download coupon. 4AD: http://shopusa.4ad.com/return-to-the-moon Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013CGZD3C/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B013CGZD3C&linkCode=as2&tag=kersjour-20&linkId=764HJB53XIDVOLSR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toomanyrecords Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Literally anything Matt Berninger touches turns to gold. This isn't limited so I'll grab it in Oct when it comes to Amoeba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesewoodenideas Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Went ahead and preordered. Decent price and signed poster is a winner for me. The song they've debuted is really good. This is a much better way to spend money than 9 lp's of the same song :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ntslash Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Dang, missed the signed poster... Still bought. Anything that any of the Menomena boys touch is gold in my books! When did the posters sell out? I ordered yesterday right around noon. I didn't notice the line about them being sold out. Fingers crossed!

just a normal guy kevin Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Non-limited-edition pre-orders, such as this one, fall into the "wait for Amazon Prime listing to go up" camp. Stoked for that day to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyCoon Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Non-limited-edition pre-orders, such as this one, fall into the "wait for Amazon Prime listing to go up" camp. Stoked for that day to come. I shall learn from your wisdom. Also, too many POs this week... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesewoodenideas Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 This is awesome!! Can't wait for the tour on-sale today. Tickets for Dublin sold out in less than a minute this morning and the show has been moved to a bigger venue but I'm betting it will sell out soon too. I got mine but it's crazy as we've all only heard 1 song :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManhattanValley Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Loved the single and would love to see them live! They're not coming to my town though :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyCoon Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 So the signed poster is gone, and there is nothing indicating that this release is limited. Think I can wait on this or get it at my store? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmoney Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 This is up on Amazon now too. A little more expensive than 4AD store however. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013CGZD3C/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B013CGZD3C&linkCode=as2&tag=kersjour-20&linkId=764HJB53XIDVOLSR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouTwo Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 A lot of Amazon pre-orders go up at a higher price and then tend to drop when it gets closer to release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
