Enablers - End Note

Limited Edition Vinyl version of the acclaimed CD released on Neurot Recordings. Visceral spoken word backed by “possibly the world's best power trio” (SF Gate). Features veterans of Swans, Toiling Midgets, Timco, Tarnation and more. Enablers hail from San Francisco California. All four members of the band are journeyman artists in their own right. On guitar and behind the mixing board Joe Goldring, has collaborated with Swans, Toiling Midgets, and Doug Scharin of June of '44 under the moniker Out in Worship, as well as with Neurosis' Steve Von Till's solo projects. Kevin Thomson, veteran of Timco and Nice Strong Arm, has been playing and touring for twenty years and with his own projects and has been a writing partner with Goldring for ten of those years collaborating on Morning Champ, Touched by a Janitor, and now Enablers. Yuma Joe Byrnes on drums has lent his unique take on the trapset to Tarnation, Broken Horse and others. Pete Simonelli has been continually writing and publishing his efforts in underground literary journals for years and now brings his poems to the table for Enablers. Backed by what Beth Lisik of the SF Gate calls “possibly the world's best power trio”, Pete's words take on new dimensions. With neither wasted words nor notes, the songs are a rich source of styles and collaborations. Recorded live in the studio, End Note equally stresses the importance of both Simonelli's texts and the band's expressive investigations of tension and release. ‘Enablers' first-rate debut doesn't just raise the bar for verse-infused postpunk - it deftly rewrites the book.’ Jordan N.
