Enemymine is Mike Kunka's (from godheadSilo) new band. Zak Sally, bassist for
Low, joined him to record their first EP (s/t, on
K Records), and the song for this split single. I've never heard Vaz
before, but apparently, both of its members were in
Hammerhead.
Vaz bring some big riffs, melodic dissonance, and an odd intensity to their
half of this slab of rock and roll, with their
song, "Blocked by Satellites."
The Enemymine song is a bit of a surprise. Zak Sally does the singing, and
the song is a "rock" song, but it's not the
usual brand of thick metal that Mike Kunka is so good at. Instead, it's
angular and smart. It sounds pleasingly similar to
Shellac or Unwound (not a surprise, as it was recorded in Vern's house by
Vern and Justin--of Unwound). This is definitely one of
Enemymine's more notable songs.
