Seizing The Moment With ARAMIS JOHNSON From ENUMCLAW

Tacoma, Washington’s outfit Enumclaw released their second album
Home In Another Life late last month, taking another musical step
forward in their short, but promising career.
Home in Another Life is the natural expansion of the high-octane
rock foundation Enumclaw built with their widely-praised 2022 debut
album Save The Baby, coming across as louder, faster and more
confronting than their debut while also enjoying the subtle nuances
of music that make it resonate on so many levels.
HEAVY sat down with vocalist Aramis Johnson earlier today to
discuss the album in greater detail, starting with the early
reception for Home In Another Life.
"Really good," he smiled. "I feel like… I'm not really on the
internet any more, so I don't know what people are saying on line,
but in real life it's been really cool. I ran into a couple of
people all over town who I don't know personally and who are saying
that they really like it so that means something, right?"
We ask about the album musically.
"We were pretty much just trying to do something that was a lot
more direct," he measured, "and not over-produced. We did it in
four days; we did the drums in one day, then spent two days doing
guitars and bass and a day doing vocals. We were trying to… not
completely replicate the Steve Albini sound… but that was
definitely our North star. Big drums, well recorded guitars and the
sound of the band in the room and not doing too much studio
magic."
In the full interview Aramis discussed the musical nature of Home
In Another Life in greater detail, the singles released and how
they paint a sonic picture, how it is a natural expansion of their
2022 debut album Save The Baby, the title and how it connects
everything, what has changed with Enumclaw between albums, finding
your musical identity and more.
