THE ENOCH KARPENTER PROJECT EP – THOSE WERE THE DAYS
We need to talk about Enoch…
Longtime Seattle widescreen indie outfit Half Acre Day‘s Matt Kristiansen, AKA Matt K, now AKA Enoch Karpenter, on the heels of a trauma-based mind control experiment gone horribly, inevitably awry, has released a 6-song solo EP entitled Those Were the Days.
The Enoch Karpenter Project creates lush, complex but accessible indie folk rock reminiscent of the likes of Andy Shauf, Wilco, Andrew Bird, The Wrens, The Mountain Goats and Flaming Lips.
As MK’s programmed “alter,” Enoch – a pushy, demanding bastard who names his projects after himself and slaps his own image on album art – has no qualms doing things of which Matt K would never dare dream, which could be very good… or very bad – it’s not for either of them to decide.
