Knopf grew up halfway between Mount Hood and Portland Oregon, far enough out of the city so that he could see the stars clearly at night. He later spent time in France, attended college in New Hampshire, and spent a semester abroad in Germany. He returned to Portland after graduating college to form Menomena. These days, Knopf has a cat, a raging chocolate addiction, and a determination to plant a vegetable garden even though it will likely ripen while he's away on tour.

Ramona Falls is Brent Knopf's first solo venture, but he has an extensive musical resume as part of trio Menomena (that's snagged plaudits from such tastemakers as Pitchfork Media and the New York Times.). "Intuit" is a beautiful and breathtaking glimpse into a profound journey of love, loss, exploration of life and one's self. From the very beginning, you find yourself spellbound and longing to continue down the 11-track pilgrimage. From the internal struggle to follow one's heart in the song “I Say Fever”, to the drowning dream and betrayal imagery of “Salt Sack,” to the bittersweet and delicate album finale of "Diamond Shovel," Ramona Falls blends acoustic and electronic elements into songs that feel at once surreal and real, both strange and familiar.
