Ramona Falls began as a solo project by Portland multi-instrumentalist Brent Knopf (formerly of Menomena) spurred by his overactive imagination. Eventually, he expanded Ramona Falls to a full band, which focuses its sound on Knopf’s longstanding fascination of the tensions between the natural and the mechanical. Released via Barsuk Records, the band’s 2009 debut, Intuit, was a showcase for Knopf’s cut-and-paste perfectionism and last year’s equally quirky Prophet. Ramona Falls is performing at Bumbershoot as part of the Barsuk Records 15th Anniversary Celebration.
