RECENT PRAISE FOR ENUMCLAW
“Aramis, the vocalist, is a co-founder of one of the Puget Sound area’s most renowned rap parties, and he sings with the casual deliberateness of a connoisseur who knows how Playboi Carti can steal a song by repeating just one word. Blown-out guitars and languid beats conjure a sort of dingy, Pacific Northwest shoegaze.”
- Pitchfork
"...I’ll be damned if my brain didn’t scream real 'PNW shit' in the Trap-a-Holics voice the second I heard Enumclaw’s debut single, “Fast N All.” "
– Stereogum (Band To Watch)
"...the Tacoma band makes scrappy indie rock with a big pop heart and even bigger ambitions (their Twitter bio reads "Best Band Since Oasis")."
- FADER
"Enumclaw’s overcast vibe feels particularly Northwest, the band’s DIY spirit in keeping with the South Sound’s rich indie-rock heritage."
– The Seattle Times
"Fast N All,” their debut single, is loose and slightly blown out, which is immediately reminiscent of the fleeting moments where Times New Viking actively tried to write pop songs."
- KEXP
"There’s nothing more exciting than a band than can bottle lightning while retaining so much room to grow."
- PASTE (25 Best EPs of 2021)
Hailing from Tacoma, Washington, and weighing in at a combined total of 607 lbs, Enumclaw have quickly established themselves as upstarts of the indie scene. Aramis Johnson, Nathan Cornell, Ladaniel Gibson, and Eli Edwards met playing shows around Seattle and bonded over their shared love of Nirvana, ‘90s R&B, and Drake.
Within one year of their first band practice, the band received acclaim from Pitchfork, Stereogum, KEXP, PASTE, FADER, and many others. Now signed to Luminelle Recordings, Enumclaw is well-positioned to go triple diamond. The self-proclaimed “Best Band Since Oasis” has a lot to live up to. Their first single with the label, the already platinum Gabe Wax-produced “2002” is out now, and keep an eye out for their debut album coming this summer.
