presents...

  

Sup familia!

 

Tis the time! Tonight we're launching preorders for the long awaited new full length by Gifts From Enola, A Healthy Fear. Not only that, but if you preorder the 2xLP vinyl version, you'll get an early download of the album emailed to you next month! The album officially comes out on 11/13, but everyone that preorders the 2xLP will be able to download it on 10/10/12 when we email you an exclusive code to unlock the magic! Consider it an early xmas gift, or consider it an exuberant "thank you" for purchasing the album on vinyl, but either way, consider it an opportunity for you to become enveloped in the unbelievable new recordings by the completely unclassifiable Gifts From Enola. Check out The Benefits of Failure from the album here:

 

 

 

This badassery is coming to you in the third dimension housed in a thick gatefold jacket designed by Charlie Wagers for Three Bears Design. There will be three color options in this first pressing, translucent yellow with blue haze will be limited to 100 copies, light blue will be limited to 100 copies, and navy blue will be limited to 300 (there will also be 100 white vinyl copies exclusively through retail). The light blue copies are going on the road with the band later this fall/winter, but we will have a very limited amount of them available through us as well exclusively in the "Ultimate Preorder Package Deal" below. The album was recorded, mixed, and mastered at Radar Studios by Constants' front man Will Benoit (Junius, Caspian, InAeona, etc). I could talk about how good it sounds and how he captured the raw emotion on display throughout the album, but why not just check out Cherry here:

Previous Press for the Gifts From Enola riff chiefs:

 

"touches of Thrice's well structured post-hardcore, Tortoise's experimental side and even a little Fugazi thrown in for good measure..." - Decibel Magazine

 

"the beauty is in the way the heaviness festers underneath soaring melodies, slashing guitars, and enough noise to attract a phalanx of checker shirted beardos..." 

- Outburn Magazine

 

"'Epic' doesn't even come close to describing just how awe-inspiring this album is...a magnificently constructed rock album which demonstrates conclusively that the riff is a force to be reckoned with..." - Rock A Rolla

 

"This is an album to be treasured, savoured over and over again and shown off to friends whenever you can corner them. Utterly engaging and simply brilliant there will be few releases this year to match the beauty and sonic power of Gifts from Enola... simply stunning..." - Sonic Abuse

 

"gorgeous kaleidoscope of guitar playing and overall musicianship..." - Lambgoat
