Efrim Manuel Menuck Releases Second Album
Other than creating music with his band, Efrim Manuel Menuck is also known for releasing his own songs. Last month, the guitarist announced that he will be unveiling his second LP titled Pissing Stars on Feb. 2. Menuck revealed that his upcoming album was inspired by the brief romance of Mary Hart and Mohammed Khashoggi.
"This album was made in dark corners between 2016 and 2017, a very rough pair of years, shot thru with fatigue, depression, despair, and too many cigarettes and too much booze. But also = the giddiness of enervation, and the strange liberation of being emptied - borne aloft and carried by the drift," said Menuck in a statement.
