"I set out to make the most poppy album I could muster," Menomena drummer Danny Seim tells SPIN.com of his solo project Lackthereof's Barsuk Records debut, Your Anchor , set to arrive July 22. And with "Last November," the first leak from the forthcoming set -- his ninth as Lackthereof -- Seim's words are certainly validated. With subtle, atmospheric keys, hushed bongos, and art-pop drums that meet pulsing, reggae-groove bass in a soft intro, "Last November" soon tops Seim's aforementioned goals. "Going, going, going," he sings repetitively in a huge, catchy chorus, before the tune gives way to keys and low vocals -- and later a "Trucker Shift," a trick Seim says is "where you take the repeated stanza up a half step into overdrive." More on SPIN.com: >> Artist of the Day: Menomena "There are definitely some nautical themes present on this new record," Seim continues. "I grew up in Wahiawa, Hawaii, where you're ostracized as a kid if you don't listen to reggae… So naturally I chose to listen to Stryper and got my ass kicked. Over a decade later though, it's hard to ignore all of that sun-drenched stoner influence… If I had to pinpoint the inception of the sound I was trying to accomplish with this new record, it would probably be somewhere far out there in the Pacific."
