(August 26, 2024) - Ahead of their sophomore album Home in Another Life, out this Friday via Run For Cover Records, Tacoma, Washington’s-own Enumclaw shares a final preview with new single “Grocery Store.” The new song follows “Not Just Yet,” which is a tender ode to band members Aramis Johnson & Eli Edward’s Uncle Mike and arrived with an explosive video directed by frequent collaborator and director John C. Peterson, and lead single “Change.”
Across the eleven tracks of Home in Another Life, vocalist and principle songwriter Aramis Johnson cracks open his chest cavity for quakingly tender songs written and performed to electrify basement shows and reverberate through arenas in equal measure. Aramis and Enumclaw write and perform like a band wrestling with the weight of growing up without looking for pity or to wallow in that baggage, while harnessing the power of reckoning with those changes head-on and kicking the door down for bands just like them in a predominately white indie-rock space. Home In Another Life is louder, faster, poignant and achingly resonant, but doesn’t forget how to have fun and enjoy the moment too.
This October, Enumclaw will head across the pond to London for a couple shows, including a Run For Cover showcase with Citizen, Horse Jumper of Love and Armlock on October 25th and a headline show on October 26th, leading up to their performance at Outbreak Fest on October 27th. Enumclaw is currently on the road, touring the US with twen, keeping up their reputation as being a working class band which they expressed with their tour documentary recounting their first tour run overseas and expressing an appreciation for the long nights, early mornings and the full scope of life on tour, narrated by Aramis Johnson. Enumclaw is rounded out by guitarist Nathan Cornell, drummer Ladaniel Gipson, bassist (and Aramis’ younger brother) Eli Edwards. Watch “A Working Band Abroad” HERE.
