EL Vy

EL VY (pronounced like a plural of Elvis; rhymes with ‘hell pie’) is the musical collaboration between Matt Berninger, vocalist and lyricist of The National, and Brent Knopf, the Portland musician and producer best known for his work in Menomena and his more recent band, Ramona Falls.

Their 2015 debut album Return To The Moon (4ad) is a project Berninger and Knopf had 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.
