THE REVIEW

Enon was formed in 1997 by John Schmersal of Brainiac and Rick Lee and Steve Calhoon of Skeleton Key.
After the first album, truly interesting, recorded for SeeThru Broadcasting, Toko Yasuda of Blonde Redhead and Matt Schulz joined the band. The sound is a mix of punk-rock, psychedelia, and electro freak-outs that is very fresh, sometimes exquisitely pop, sometimes violent.
In the second album, the two from Skeleton Key were no longer there, and the label is Touch and Go! We listen to the splendid "Natural Disasters" and all fall in love with them.

Numerous 7”s have been released over the years (also for Sub Pop). The end of 2003 witnessed "Hocus Pocus," a very fresh album that continues the tradition with the addition of some minimal electronic base and much more syncopated than previous ones. Worth noting is the beautiful ballad "Candy" and the splendid "Starcastic."

01   Shave (02:46)

i know you can save
save up your story in your mind container

i know you can shave
shave off the shadow that's been growin on you

i know you can say
say that you wanna be the only one

i know you can stay
stay in your room, its expensive toys

tie my love up till the end of time
time, time lover must begin its dying
tie my love up till the end of time
time, time lover must begin its dying

i know you can save
save all your money to secure your favor

i know you can shave
shave off the pennies and enjoy the few

i know you can say
say that you're gonna be the only one

i know you can stay
stay in your room, its expensive toys

tie my love up till the end of time
time, time lover must begin its dying
tie my love up till the end of time
time, time lover must begin its dying
