...according to our Phil on 04 October 2007.

They keep on coming.... Nothing for ages and suddely loads of great albums in one week. Enon are back!! I was obsessed by High Society by them. Such a great record... one of the best albums I've heard of the poppier end of alt rock genre. They're back with a new album called Grass Geysers... Carbon Clouds on LP and CD. Those buying the vinyl format will be rewarded with an MP3 version, which is something Touch & Go seem to be doing now. Good on 'em. They did that with the Pinback album as well. It's what more labels should be doing! Put simply Enon make great pop music which sounds somewhere between Girls Against Boys and Blonde Redhead. The bass is the sludgiest dirtiest thing I've heard in ages. It sounds like a bee farting continuously next to a microphone....(don't ask me how I know what that sounds like). I wasn't as keen on their last album but this sounds like a return to form as the songs and production both seem strong. Am having one of these as well....

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

Enon are back with their long-awaited fifth album. ‘Grass Geysers… Carbon Clouds’ is chock full of topics all over the map, and they’re not stopping for border checks either.   ‘Enon’ can mean either cloud or fountain, depending on the context. It’s from this sky of opposites that this new record gushes out. By the time you’re through listening, what will Enon mean to you?   ‘Dr. Freeze’ is a sci-fi pie in the face about a mad super villain (or hero?) who sets a planet back into an ice age in response to a plea for help with a global climate epidemic. ‘Peace Of Mind’ recommends a partial lobotomy, or at least trephination, to subdue some brain swelling due to chronic information overload. ‘Pigeneration’ rocks all over the effects of ‘free dumb’ and disposable culture on our lives.While this record is ever the rollercoaster of moods that characterize much of Enon’s output, this is their most consistent and striking work yet. It builds you up from ‘Mirror On You’ before burning you down in ‘Ashish’. John Schmersal (guitar / keyboards) and Toko Yasuda (bass / keyboards) are often singing together on songs instead of independently, and Matt Schulz (drums) pushes up the BPMs on this record for a manic and fast paced punch in the neck.  Pitchfork called John Schmersal “one of indie rock’s most consistently compelling songwriters”.
