ENOLA, a Melbourne based singer/songwriter producer and multi instrumentalist, released their first EP back in 2019. 'Strange Comfort' has a real sense of dark post punk foreboding about it but it doesn't feel like a pastiche, instead it feels like that musical moment in time is being reinterpreted for the modern age with this song. They say of the track "There is a comfort in knowing that suffering can be a universal experience. We are alone, yet together in our aloneness"
There's a sense of chaos and unpredictability within the song, particularly in those moments when the spoken word elements overlap with the sung and the tempo switches up and down, creating a complex sense of texture. I reiterate what I've said recently about the current Australian punk scene: There is definitely something in the water at the moment. Something good.
