Leave Me Without A Bark

Enik - Micro Ocean Enik - Diamond City
Describing Enik, who comes to us via Wonder Records/ Kompakt/ Forced Exposure, is one of those impossible tasks. I mean, the easiest thing to say is that it's like Tom Waits jamming with Trent Reznor at the Moulin Rouge, but I don't think Industrial Cabaret is going to give you the right idea, since it's not like the Dresden Dolls or anything. I hear a little Cure in there, and some other elements as well. Clearly, Enik is his own thing, and worth paying attention to.
It's whimsical, but there are also some great beats-- there's a reason it's on Kompakt. On first listen you might not know what to make of it, but I promise it'll grow on you. Both of these songs come from the Without A Bark EP [Buy It]. You can also find a download of the song "Taxi" at Enik's site.
