The Archipelago Rises

Grey vinyl limited to 250.

The vinyl issue of GIFTS FROM ENOLA's "Loyal Eyes Betrayed The Mind". Initially self released by the band on CD in 2006, this vinyl version comes packaged in a deluxe gatefold double LP jacket with brand new, alternate, exclusive artwork by Nate Shumaker (www.northernlightsindustries.com).

After one listen I knew this would be an immediate joy. After 10 listens I knew this was classic material. “We Watched Them Lose Our Minds” opens with glitchy electronics and distorted spoken word as a deliberate attempt to disorient the listener. Its grungy, horror-filled take on psychadelia is not a walk in the park. But why shouldn’t a band expect a little something out of their listener? I enjoy music created with the audience in mind. After all, most of the enjoyable things in life take work. And let me tell you, following the meandering, electronic path of closer “Screaming At Anything That Moved” takes effort. Reverbed sound effects, T-S Orchestra-like composition wizardry (hey, it’s Christmas!) and guitars that sound downright aqueous in their mind-bending riffs beg for dissection. Sit still, take notes if needed, and repeat as many times as you see fit. Trust me, you’ll study Loyal Eyes Betrayed the Mind again and again and again. - Blake Solomon, absolutepunk.net
