  Jeremy Enigk
Jeremy Enigk has finally found a record label that will stick with him through thick and thin, his own.
Enigk handled the vocals and most of the guitars but he also contributed on bass, keyboards and drums on some of the songs.
On August Enigk is now on a world tour that will take him from Liverpool England (home to the Beatles and John Lennon to whom Enigk’s vocals bare a striking resemblance), to the Crystal Ballroom in Portland Ore. It is the first tour for Enigk in more than three years.

  Jeremy Enigk - explorefaith music
Enigk’s voice was unlike anything I’d ever heard, and the music was so unique and emotionally powerful that it moved me deeply.
In this sense, Enigk, as a Christian artist, is like Auden and C.S. Lewis before him; he stands in the mythopoetic Christian tradition, creating worlds with his music that cause us to attend to something beyond the givens of reality.
Jeremy Enigk is currently touring in support of a new solo album, World Waits, due in stores on October 10th 2006.

 NIPP: Artists: Jeremy Enigk
Jeremy’s spiritual re-awakening was the stuff of legend thanks to his self-penned, and subsequently oft-posted, email testimonial.
Jeremy’s ability to keep listeners’ rapt attention, literally, from a whisper to a scream led many to dub his voice as that voice.
Jeremy began honing that voice at the tender age of thirteen in his first band.

 Amazon.com: World Waits: Music: Jeremy Enigk   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Enigk's voice is close to perfection, blanketed by resonating melodies and bold arrangements, and although his lyrics can be difficult to decode, they flutter beneath the swirling guitars and calming keyboards in a near fragile state.
Jeremy continues in the direction that he has been going in the past few years as he has been with Sunny Day and The Fire Theft.
The last time Jeremy stepped out to do a solo record he stripped down all of what he had been doing with Sunny Day Real Estate and created a raw and gripping record that relied on a slanted orchestra and his reaching vocals.

The last time Jeremy Enigk, the singer and songwriter for emo-core pioneers Sunny Day Real Estate and The Fire Theft, released a solo album, Hilary was testifying about Whitewater, Dolly was being cloned, and the Ramones were about to play their last gig.

 Glorious Noise - Jeremy Enigk - World Waits
Even then, Enigk possessed a smooth swagger that exuded poise and self-control, but a certain moment in which Enigk's eyes, which had remained closed with a deadly focus, darted toward the sky, gave the impression of restlessness and striking ambition.
Released on Enigk's own label, no one batted at an eye at this late-year release, but the optimism conveyed in the singer's howl is too gripping to be ignored.
One gets the feeling that Enigk has become aware of this responsibility and on the album's title track, you'd be hard pressed to find a fan who didn't feel as if Enigk was singing directly to them.

 Jeremy Enigk | Biography | MTV   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Jeremy Enigk first emerged as the frontman of the highly touted Seattle band Sunny Day Real Estate, which issued their Sub Pop debut, Diary, in 1994.
In the midst of recording the group's sophomore effort, Enigk underwent a radical spiritual transformation and left the group; although he later returned to complete LP2, Sunny Day Real Estate nonetheless dissolved, leaving bassist Nate Mendel and drummer William Goldsmith to join Dave Grohl in the Foo Fighters.
Initially, Enigk retired from the music industry, but he soon picked up his guitar and began writing new songs, and his solo debut, The Return of the Frog Queen, a collection bypassing the primal furor of Sunny Day Real Estate's emocore for a lush, orchestral pop sound, appeared in 1996.

 Jeremy Enigk "World Waits" - Features
Those avid listeners of Enigk could not possibly have forgotten about it, for the tenacity of the lyrics and the intensity of the instrumental creativity served as another impressive mark on his ever-extending music record.
Enigk put this record together with the collaboration of over 20 other musicians on violins, violas, drums, cellos, bass guitars, keyboards, guitars and trombones.
Regardless of how many musicians decorate this brand-new album, Enigk's higher, almost brisk voice, seemingly wound with some creative twist of audible wisdom emit his pensive lyrics in a fashion that could move a crowd to tears if it were accompanied by a rough garage band of angst-ridden adolescents.

 SPIN.com: Jeremy Enigk World Waits (Lewis Hollow)
Jeremy Enigk's most memorable moments – mostly as leader of Sunny Day Real Estate – share a grandiose desperation, a feeling that he's always willing to flame out to make himself heard.
That admirable, occasionally crazy, devotion helped spawn a thousand emo bands, and while Enigk is older and mellower, he remains capable of stirring souls.
The songs here may be marginally less interesting than his best, but it's comforting to know that he can ratchet down the passion without losing it entirely.

 Jeremy Enigk: World Waits (2006): Reviews
Enigk's refusal to confine his work to the ghetto of Contemporary Christian Rock gives it a universal appeal, one that showcases not only his throat-lump-inducing vocal gift but also the messages woven into the songs.
World Waits creates some startlingly effective moods that allow plenty of elbow room for Enigk’s versatile voice to fill the spaces, as well as for the songs’ careful construction to unfold naturally.
Enigk sounds like a mixture of Peter Gabriel, U2, Sarah McLachlan, and a little bit of Elf Power, and tries too hard to be profound and meaningful.

 Jeremy Enigk: World Waits: Pitchfork Record Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
It certainly signals a break with his old band-- going back 14 years to the first SDRE album, it's an entirely different animal, a crashing, thudding rock album where this new one is basically sophisticated adult pop with some prog kicking around the edges.
Enigk's vocals get their biggest workout on "Damien Dreams", an interesting modal song full of hanging phrases that never feel resolved.
He conjures up a hell of a growl in the middle of the song without sounding strained, but the track's most engaging moment comes when he provides a strange vocal harmony for himself on just one line-- an inventive technique to draw your attention to the lyric.

Then, just as the band's career was ramping up, Enigk quit, ostensibly to pursue his renewed interest in Christianity, though he found time immediately after leaving Sunny Day to write and record Return Of The Frog Queen, a lushly orchestrated concept album.
Upon reviving Sunny Day Real Estate in 1998, Enigk brought his new progressive sound and spirituality to bear on his mates' hard rock and pop leanings, and the result was the transcendent How It Feels To Be Something On, one of the best albums to emerge from Seattle in the '90s.
Enigk spoke with The A.V. Club about his start-stop career, his unusual approach to rock songwriting, and the pressures associated with being beloved for music he made a decade ago.

Sitting at Niagara Falls watching the water cascade and wash away, Jeremy Enigk is staring at the tumult of the last 10 years of his life.
But when they disbanded again in 2002, Enigk’s solo career wasn’t revisited, it turned into The Fire Theft with three-quarters of Sunny Day.
Enigk’s a self-professed perfectionist in the studio — “I’ve always been a pain in the ass” — and yielded a collection not unlike Niagara: powerful yet serene, soaring freely while smashing against the rocks.

His band thundered with unexpected drum patterns and lumbering bass lines, and Enigk easily cruised through one intense love song after another, stretching his tremendously controlled vocal range.
Enigk finished one bursting hour later, but there was no way the audience was going to let slip away without an encore.
