Matt Berninger, dei The National, e l’amico di vecchia data Brent Knopf, già  Ramona Falls e Menomena, formano gli EL VY.

Il nuovo progetto ha annunciato il debutto “Return To The Moon” che uscirà  su 4AD il prossimo 30 ottobre.

La title-track è già  in streaming su youtube:

La nuova avventura musicale viene così presentata:

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. Finally, in the winter and spring of 2014-15, they actually got together to make an album.
