GIFTS FROM ENOLA/CARAVELS - GIFTS FROM ENOLA/CARAVELS (LIMITED EDITION SPLIT 12" LP)

Gifts From Enola And Caravels Well Worn on Limited Edition Split 12" Vinyl

Partners in crime Caravels and Gifts From Enola have been threatening to make a split album together for a couple years now, and luckily for all of us, they've finally made good on that threat. Harrisonburg, VA's Gifts From Enola offer up two razor sharp, hardcore-tinged, post-something rippers, pushing forward hard on the evolution of their sound from their critically acclaimed self-titled 2010 full-length. Meanwhile, Las Vegas, NV natives Caravels continue to push their multi-textured brand of emotive hardcore into new and unexplored territory with three new hybrids of old school screamo blended seamlessly with layered post-rock elements.

Sure, there is a lot of screaming and yelling, and a lot of loud guitars and drums, and an overall aggressive tone to the body of work on this split, but the only absolute and true over riding common denominator is that both bands effortlessly defy easy classification, making this split both as challenging and as rewarding as they come.

The Gifts From Enola tracks were recorded by Will Benoit at Radar Studios (Junius, Cancer Conspiracy, Constants), while the Caravels tracks were cut at Earthling Studios with Mike Kamoo. Mastering duties were handled by Carl Saff (Grails, Young Widows, Tiny Vipers, The Black Heart Procession), with artwork handled by Charlie Wagers at Three Bears Design (mewithoutYou, Unwed Sailor, The Fray, Caspian).
