GRASS GEYSERS...CARBON CLOUDS

Enon is the trio of John Schmersal (who was involved with Brainiac and John Stuart Mill) and Rick Lee (Skeleton Key), Toko Yasuda (ex-The Lapse, ex-Van Pelt) and Matt Schulz.

They're interested in exploring that wide territory between pop/rock songs and noise, employing a wealth of samples, industrial sound processing, and percussion that veers toward crockery-smashing murkiness.Not as inclined toward melodies of the 1960s and '70s as groups like Olivia Tremor Control are, there are nonetheless often pensive, oddball pop tunes lurking in their swathe of sound.

Enon, originally the project of Schmersal alone, put out a couple of indie singles before Schmersal moved to New York. Their debut album, Believo!, was released in 2000, High Society followed in 2002, presenting a more poppy, uptempo sound. The following year, the group issued the In This City EP and went on tour with the Faint. 2003 also saw the release of Hocus Pocus, which found the band moving in an electronic pop direction. The B-sides collection Lost Marbles and Exploded Evidence arrived in early 2005.

In 2007, Enon returned with their first new album in four years, Grass Geysers, Carbon Clouds, which blends the band's electronic, pop, and rock elements even more seamlessly.
