Toko, Enon

enon

Enon is a band from Brooklyn and Philadelphia. John Schmersal, Toko Yasuda, and Matt Schulz, have all been in a bunch of bands, and are still in a bunch of bands. But all that doesn’t really matter, right? What does matter is that these three, together, are Enon, always, and they’re always amazing. Some bands are content to develop a ‘trademark sound’. Enon continuously expands on every aspect of their music, managing to bring something new to the table with each release while still weaving a common thread through all of them.

Brigitte Fontaine / Brigitte
It makes me feel calm when I put this song on.

Suicide / Shadazz
My favorite Suicide tune. I don’t know why I like it so much.

Elizabeth Cotten / Shake Sugaree
Her voice sounds so innocent to me. She makes the song sounds more sweet than depressing. I admire her as she created her own style of guitar playing. I wish I got to see her perform.

Os Mutantes / O Relogio
I like Os Mutantes. I don’t get sick of listening to their music ever.

Quasimoto / Players of the Game
I just picked one of the tracks from The Future Adventures. It’s like listening to the cartoons, with plenty of sweet samples and jamming. It’s humorous and fun.

Love as Laughter / Coconut Flakes
Sam Jane writes a lot of sweet songs. This one has been my fave. You should listen to the record if you haven’t already.

Love of Diagrams / Pyramid
I like this solid rock tune: the melody, the sounds and Antonia’s voice. What else can I say?

Black Lips / Veni Vidi Vici
This album put me in a good mood. That’s good.
