collectivemike Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 http://www.musicdirect.com/p-131245-i-can-make-a-mess-enola-lp-cd.aspx $14.99 When you're the main songwriter and driving force in a successful band, you often find yourself creatively stifled. Your fans have certain expectations, and therefore you have an obligation to deliver to them an album that meets their expectations, fits in their comfort zone, all while growing and maturing as an artist. The problem with this is, true artists are capable of so much more, music to them is an art, and the urge to create something new and exciting is something that they can't suppress. Ace Enders found that success, both critically and commercially during his tenure as the main songwriter of The Early November. The band went on to sell over 450,000 albums (3 of which sold over 100,000). And as much as Ace loved penning rock classics such as "Ever So Sweet" and "I Want To Hear You Sad," he wanted more, he wanted something different. He wanted to be able to write songs that were more experimental, and creative. He wanted to work in his own studio, on his own schedule and create songs that were truly important to him and a pure reflection of who he was as an artist. These desires grew until they finally manifested into I Can Make A Mess, Enders' solo project. I Can Make A Mess, isn't just a flash in the pan one off solo album. Over the past 9 years Enders has recorded four full length albums, he's had his songs in commercial movie trailers such as Must Love Dogs and has toured the country with bands such as All American Rejects. His newest masterpiece is titled Enola and it will be issued on Rise Records in the summer of 2013. The album is passionate, and personal, experimental and honest, it's a must for fans of Bon Iver, Iron & Wine, Animal Collective and American Football. If you're looking for great songs, that are a little out of your comfort zone, look no further. The LP version of Enola comes on colored vinyl and also includes a bonus CD. I Can Make A Mess Enola Track Listing: 1. Enola 2. Wrinkle 3. Close Enough 4. Adaptation Cell 5. Listen Lesson / Keep Away 6. Tidal Wave 7. Lions 8. Ancient Crows 9. What Happens Now 10. Burn It All Down 11. Thin White Line Large font made me laugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pushbacktosquare Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Seriously so excited for this. I just wish someone would press "The World We Know". One of my favorite albums. zacaroo21 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futures Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Oh, I really love the song 'Lions.' When I saw this listing on Amazon I thought it was a mistake, but I am excited for this. Edit: Enola = Alone? YouVandal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwhitmuzik Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Rise Records makes sense due to the whole TEN connection. At least it's not fucking American Dream shit. Going to see what the Rise preorders are and stuff first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to see what the Rise preorders are and stuff first. I almost jumped on that pre-order but I want to own every varaint of every record Ace/TEN puts out. I think I'm going to wait as well, so I can hopefully get everything together and save on shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

collectivemike Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 The price is right here, that's where I'd pick it up. Rise is just gonna make you buy a t-shirt and a litho for an extra $50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David The Gnome Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Cheapest shipping option is 15.02. Am I missing something? Mine is showing $8.53 via UPS Ground.

Ya but if you just wait until release they always split out the most limited variant from the bundle once they realize they are sitting on hundreds of extras (recent examples: FSF clear variant, TEN photo book 180g, etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way I can't be buying things without hearing them first these days. Hopefully there will be a stream sometime before the release date.... this seems iffy to me.
