Menahan Street Band: Illusions LP

*** Out Nov 13, 2026 ***

Twenty years after forming in Tommy Brenneck's Bushwick apartment, Menahan Street Band returns with "Illusions", their fourth full-length album. The band - Tommy Brenneck, Dave Guy, Nick Movshon, Leon Michels, and Homer Steinweiss - have each pursued an array of projects in the years since. Brenneck has produced for Baby Rose, Rogê and Kirby, toured with The Budos Band and runs Diamond West Records and Studio. Guy plays trumpet with The Roots and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and has released his own solo album; Steinweiss has made his own solo record and, with Movshon, has worked across multiple platinum album projects; and Michels continues as El Michels Affair, runs Big Crown Records, and has produced Grammy-winning and nominated albums for Clairo and Norah Jones. Recorded quickly and instinctively, "Illusions" blends Menahan's signature guitar, horns and drums with arrangements by Brazilian legend Arthur Verocai, taking listeners on an instrumental travelogue that lets the mind wander.
