\"I'mMan\"<\/a><\/p>\n

While the previously-released title track from their impending album, Return To The Moon<\/strong><\/em>, was a pleasing pop-stretch for Matt Berninger (The National)<\/strong>, we weren’t prepared for EL VY’s<\/a><\/strong> new song I’m The Man To Be<\/strong> <\/em>released today via the lyric video below. \u00a0EL VY<\/strong> is the new project from Berninger<\/strong> and Brent Knopf<\/strong> of Menomena\/Ramona Falls<\/strong>. \u00a0Watch\/stream below as Knopf<\/strong> sets Berninger’s<\/strong> scatological, stream-of-consciousness rap (“from the perspective of a pathetic self-aggrandizing rocker alone in a hotel room, something I know a lot about” according to Berninger<\/strong>) to an invigorating, angular musical backdrop of vibraphone-sounding keys, savory synths and\u00a0Gang of Four<\/strong>-influenced guitar. It’s a grower.<\/p>\n

The video adds some further unexpected moves from Berninger<\/strong>, as directed by brother Tom Berninger <\/strong>(Mistaken For Strangers<\/a><\/strong><\/em>).<\/p>\n
