  • T-Shirt and Album Download

    This is by far my favorite option for purchasing music these days. Not only will you get a beautifully screen-printed Enright House t-shirt at a totally sweet price, but you also get to download the full album instantly right here on bandcamp in your choice of format.

    The t-shirts themselves are really nice - they're made from 100% cotton, have a flattering fit, and are realistically sized (very similar to an American Apparel shirt, for example). The design is a beautiful 3-color screenprint, and has a double layer of black applied to make it stand out more against the black fabric. All shirts were screenprinted in Christchurch, New Zealand.

Track Name: Scattering The Sun Like Gunshot
There are no official lyrics available for this song.
Track Name: Darkwave Equals MC Squared
I’d fall asleep under your window, waking whenever you’d sleep, serenading your silhouette with love songs hummed under my breath.

I spent hours in your driveway, using telepathy and tears to send you ESP telegrams, arriving blank and unsigned.

I’d steal the letters that your boyfriend sent, replacing them with bouquets of your favorite flowers and encrypted communiqués.

I’d sleep with horseshoes and horoscopes, like guns, tucked under my head, counting on meteors and MC² to reconfigure our stars.
Track Name: Up
How can I possibly explain this… I am hurt and I am tired. I’m too tired to get up, I’m too tired to stay up, I’m too tired to stay alive. And I’m not dreaming… things are spinning incessantly out of control. Stay down… Up, up…
Track Name: A Maze And Amazement
Bring mit dir die Nachricht, Dass wir leben koenten, wenn wir wollten. Bring mit dir die Nachricht, Dass immer noch Zeit ist sterben zu koennen.
Track Name: Solitaire
I.

I miss kissing your firm and sunburnt skin, the luscious chills and suggestive grins, the rumbling and hissing of sex and intimacy, your suffocating clairvoyancy.

I could be what you want and all that jazz. I could be all that you want me to be. What we had was impossible to bury and burn. Haven’t you heard? Standing still is death.

II.

A girl is playing solitaire on the game computer there - the high score breached. Reverberations of her voice ping-pong mathematically: “Finally.” A disco ball hangs high above in a corner flanked by dust, turning just for you. Broken speakers call your name, “Congratulations on your game. Here’s to you.”
Track Name: Remember The Stillness
Remember the rock of the car: the lulling sway of steel frame throttling over veined asphalt towards the hazy blue horizon still suspended in space.

Whir of the wheels, the clickity clackity cassette tapes clattering underfoot - the laconic drawl of Neil Young’s “Harvest Moon” crackles lazy from cheap speakers.

The backseat - my head pressed against vibrating glass - sky stretched to infinity. A glowing burnt gold of a late, invisible summer sun.

Driving through anywhere nowhere, it never really matters; the gold and the heat and the drone and the millions of miles of waxy green cornfield stalks whipping past lines of Venetian blind crop formations with thick paper leaves that shimmer shake with the passing car.

Window and windshield cracked, wind snaking around and sifting through my hair. 11-years-old with nothing more in sight and in mind then the timeless tranquil crawl between earth and road and sky. Remember the stillness.
Track Name: A Car Facing Mountains
A step beyond the pale, a step in front of us | With nothing left to fear, we fear what’s left of us | Let’s talk about the eschatology of love | Let’s stick our tongues in places we would never touch | Everything is cold to touch and shivering…
Track Name: Do Re Mi
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, a peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked. If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, where’s the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?
Track Name: On The Banks Of The Rhein
Under electricity wires, we’d count the stars and the pores in our skin. Through the summer dusk, afar, we’d watch the cars turn on their brights and drive into the night. On the banks of the Rhein, ships capped their lines, and we were left wondering why we had drifted apart. Since then, thousands of ships have sailed past and I still dream of us there, counting the passengers stepping aboard and waving goodbye.
Track Name: We Might As Well Have Stayed Young
Sitting on the face of a hill, we’d roll caffeine tablets into cigarettes to stay alert. Listening to Skinny Puppy, we’d paint our ceilings black and tile our bathroom in mirror shards. Life came easily to us…

And it never mattered who’s lips parted: life had all it’s gloss and we were beautiful.

We were too young to know love from illusion, but now that I do, I don’t feel it anymore. I don’t feel anything at all. We might as well have stayed young, for it’s been useless to grow older.
