See You There	Enon, The Octopus Project by K. O'Day

Enon is the brainchild of former Brainiac member John Schmersal, and is named after the Ohio village close to his hometown of Dayton, Ohio. After a seven-year post-Brainiac career (an ensemble that caused a buzz in the mid 1990s opening for acts like Beck and the Breeders, but disbanded after the death of lead singer Tim Taylor in 1997), Schmersal has certainly brought Enon into its own, though it still owes much to Brainiac’s unique post-punk zaniness. Enon is based out of Philadelphia but in reality is an integral part of the New York music scene, and with the release this month of their fourth studio album, Grass Geysers…Carbon Clouds (Touch & Go), the trio is on the way to attaining the audience attention they all deserve. Fans should already know to set aside all expectations—other than to expect the unexpected—and be ready to embrace all manner of foreign sounds, surprise samples and vocal turnabouts. While none will be disappointed with the album’s unusual flavors, this is also the most-radio friendly Enon has sounded, an up-tempo kind of experimental rock that emphasizes the rock. This tour pairs Enon with the Octopus Project, Austin, Texas’ stylish noise-rock instrumentalists, promoting their latest release Hello, Avalanche (just out on Peek-a-Boo Records), a mini-symphony of sparkly, danceable hyper-electronica.
