about

“Grand, sweeping, epic chamber pop with striking melodic power and vocal harmonies that would make the most revered singer-songwriters of the 70s weep with envy.”
– Matt Garman, CHIRP Radio

“Break my heart beautiful.”
– Phil McCoy, Spiral Productions

Debut album from Enoch Karpenter, also toiling in beautiful obscurity as Matt Kristiansen of the Seattle indie pop outfit Half Acre Day. Matt/Enoch is fully responsible for every facet of this album, but he cannot play drums (I mean, he can, but he shouldn’t). Thankfully he has some incredibly talented friends - drummers Aaron McMullen (formerly of Half Acre Day) and Steve Damm (Monotone Pictures, Vote for Pedro) who were kind enough to lend their talents.

More music and more amazing musical guests to come. It’s a Project!
