By 2010, Menomena had refined their deliberately fractured approach to indie rock into something altogether more purposeful. *Mines*, their third album, finds the Portland trio balancing their signature layering of guitar, bass, and drums—often running at cross-purposes, each instrument carving its own path—with a sharper melodic sensibility. The songs here bristle with angular energy and odd-meter surprises, yet they never lose sight of genuine hooks buried beneath the surface clatter. This is art rock that earns its complexity through genuine compositional ambition rather than mere technical showing-off; tracks like "Queen Black Acid" and "Taos" spiral and shift in ways that reward close listening. Menomena's restless intelligence remains on full display, but *Mines* suggests a band growing more confident in their oddness, letting the strange and the beautiful coexist naturally within the same frame.
