A rather uneasy mixture of indie-pop, post-rock and electronica, described as anything from "pop as pop should be" to "skittery percussion, ethereal drones with metallic resonances, and disturbingly atmospheric sounds."

Reviews

"Lush flowing arrangements scattered with intensity... It's wonderful. Buy it now and see them live... 8.3/10"
UNDER THE RADAR

"Some of the most innovative and beautiful music to emerge from these dark lands in many moons."
CHEESE ON TOAST

"One of New Zealands freshest bands with a big sound! Pop hooks shrouded in big guitars and gentle atmospheres. What more do you want?"
SMOKE CDS

"A fine attention to detail that elevates this well beyond similar would-be merchants of the epic... 4/5 Stars"
REAL GROOVE

"One of the years best hidden secrets."
DOMINION POST

"The ideal soundtrack for people to break up and fall apart to."
THE CRITIC

"A lyrical labyrinth of weird computer bleeps, pretty pop, indie cool and industrial electronica. (...) If Ayn Rand were to listen to this it's easy to imagine her applauding the individuality of the four boys"
THE PRESS

"Twisty pop, where squeaks and moans swim and shake..."
THE CRITIC

"I immediately fell in love with this and couldn't stop playing it. It's pop as pop should be and one of the finest little records I've heard come out of New Zealand."
A LOW HUM


Bio

The Enright House is probably something of chimera in terms of sound: instead of being one third lion, one third she-goat, and one third serpent, however, we are probably more one part indie-pop, one rather large part post-rock and one rather not-so-large part electronica.

The press have described our sound as anything from "pop as pop should be" to "skittery percussion, ethereal drones with metallic resonances, and disturbingly atmospheric sounds...". Think Death Cab For Cutie meets Mogwai. Sigur Ros meets Pinback. Philip Glass meets a distortion pedal. Poetry meets numbers. Up meets down. Light meets the drain-pipe.

In performance, The Enright House incorporates live and mechanized drums, synths, field recordings, poetry and a lot of guitars, the latter of which are typically manipulated with bows, screws, bottle caps, glass rods, chopsticks, copper wire, stainless steal picks, some love, some violence, and a handful of derelict effects.
