Enonophone Pt. 1

Dear Santa,

For Christmas I would like an awesome, but constantly overlooked band that combines delicate, yet entrancing female vocals with swirling guitars and synths. I don't want a one trick pony band though Santa. I want them to also play straight up rock and roll with quirky instruments and rhythms on other tracks too! Please Santa, I've been good all year.

Well Timmy, do I have the band for you. Enon has been around for a while and contains remnants of the former indie punk powerhouse Brainiac. Enon has 4 fabulous albums, the most recent of which came out in 2007. The three tracks below showcase the more electronic side of Enon, using female vocals with sometimes mysterious and sometimes driving synths to great effect every time. John Schmersal provides male vocals and Toko Yasuda has great vocals and dominates with the heavy bass prevalent on so many songs that always mix up rhythms and tempos. I've been lucky enough to see Enon in concert three times and everytime has been amazing. On Saturday I'll post some tracks from the other side of Enon.
