Return to the Moon, the debut album from EL VY, came out on 4AD on October 30, 2015, and it's the sound of two old friends finally cashing in years of swapped ideas. Matt Berninger, the singer for the National, and Brent Knopf of Ramona Falls and Menomena had met on tour and spent years trading musical sketches and lyrics before they sat down in the winter of 2014 to turn them into a proper record.
Freed from his day job, Berninger sounds looser and funnier than usual, his voice sliding over Knopf's restless, playful arrangements, which zigzag from wiry rock to warped pop without ever settling down. It's a side project that plays like a lark with a secret streak of heart, and "Need a Friend" is the track that made the countdowns.
