In her writeup of today’s featured Song of the Day podcast of “Taos” by Portland band Menomena, Leigh mentioned that as of yet there are no videos for their latest album, Mines. Fortunately, our own video cameras were on hand when the band came into the KEXP studio to perform new songs live last week.

Check out four songs from Mines now:
