A few days back, the National‘s Matt Berninger and Menomena/Ramona Falls’ Brent Knopf announced plans to start a new band called EL VY. The guys also thought it’d be fun to start a duel-purpose Instagram that announces band news and chronicles Berninger’s attempts at learning to surf. You can watch his progress below.
EL VY have also added a few new fall tour dates to coincide with their debut album, Return to the Moon. You can also check those out below, and look for Return to the Moon when it drops on October 30 via 4AD.
Never had one lesson. 😊 A video posted by EL VY (@el__vy) on
