Since Menomena‘s long-awaited third album (Mines) is still a couple months away, we thought we’d take this opportunity to highlight Brent Knopf’s lesser known–but equally essential–solo outing from last year, Ramona FallsIntuit LP. The video for “Russia” unfolds like a better/shorter version of 500 Days of Summer, with a young man trying to woo his obstinate former lover. No matter how hard he tries, she responds with the refrain, “too little, too late.” Oh, man. We’ve all been there.
