Enemies - Embark, Embrace (CD)

The second album from Kilcoole's Enemies, released in 2013 as the follow-up to their beloved debut. Where We've Been Talking was pure instrumental fireworks, Embark, Embrace opens the sound out, weaving in guest vocals from Conor Adams of The Cast of Cheers and Dublin duo Heathers among a cast of friends and collaborators. Recorded, mixed, and visually designed by the band themselves in true DIY spirit, it was the first release on their own Heavyweight Records, and it cemented their standing at the heart of the international math rock community. Warm, intricate, and quietly ambitious, with highlights in Indian Summer, Coral Castle, and Nighthawks.
