Return To The Moon is the acclaimed debut from EL VY, the creative partnership between Matt Berninger of The National and Brent Knopf of Ramona Falls (formerly of Menomena). Released on 4AD in 2015, this genre-blurring album crafts a unique blend of alternative and indie rock, pairing Berninger’s signature baritone and thoughtful lyrics with Knopf’s inventive, textured arrangements and quirky new wave synths.
The songs on Return To The Moon are both infectious and emotionally resonant, touching on themes of nostalgia, identity, and connection, all delivered with sly wit and surprising warmth. From dance-friendly grooves to poignant, story-driven moments, this record invites listeners into a world that is as clever as it is heartfelt—making it a standout collaboration for fans of either artist and a memorable addition to any modern rock collection.
