The second album from this band from USA.
The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, synths and vocals.
This is the follow up album to their 2020 debut album Star's Blood which I reviewed back in December 2022 in this blog. I was not impressed by that album.
The band has asked for reviews of this album am here to oblige. A review, this album will get.
I labeled Star's Blood as a mix of post-punk and art-rock. References were Van Der Graaf Generator, King Crimson and Sleepytime Gorilla.
In the case of Enjoy This Ruin, I would describe this three quarters of an hour long album as a mix of post-metal, post-punk and vaudeville rock. Black Midi, Sleepytime Gorilla and some Van Der Graaf Generator and King Crimson is good references here.
The music is in other words both eclectic and quirky.
The weirdness of their music is both the strengh and the weakness of their music. Music which is quality wise somewhere between decent and good.
This album is a small improvement from their debut album but not more than that. I am yet to be won over.
