Mines is the fourth album from the Portland, Oregon-based band Menomena. It was released on July 27, 2010 by Barsuk Records, in North America, and City Slang, in Europe. The album was self-produced and recorded by the band. The title comes from the plural possessive word of "mine",[11] and the cover art features a picture of a broken sculpture in the woods printed in stereogram.[12]
The album debuted on the Billboard 200 chart at #96.[13]
In April 2010, the band recruited Joe Haege, of fellow Portland bands Tu Fawning and 31knots, as a touring member.[14]
