Watch Enumclaw's explosive video for "Not Just Yet"

Home In Another Life is out 8/30

Today, Tacoma, Washington’s-own Enumclaw shares new single “Not Just Yet.” The second offering from their forthcoming sophomore album Home in Another Life, out 8/30, “Not Just Yet” juxtaposes grandiose musicality with a tenderly written and distressed ode to band members Aramis Johnson & Eli Edwards’ Uncle Mike. Recently diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimers, Aramis clamors for more time with Uncle Mike, the man who “taught him everything” and shouts in disbelief over the top of thundering, arena-shaking drums from Ladaniel Gipson.

Alongside the single, Enumclaw have teamed up with frequent collaborator and director John C. Peterson, who also directed the video for lead single “Change,” for another explosive music video centering on one long zoom out shot.

“This video all started with a painting that Andrew Durgin-Barnes did for Rizzo and Quasi Skateboards,” director John C. Peterson says of the video. “Barnes’ painting screamed a story so I’d always wanted to adapt it to a one-take music video. Once I told Aramis my idea over a year ago, he was always adamant we had to do it. ‘Not Just Yet’ was the perfect song for it. Short and sweet. Loud. We did our best to bring the painting to life and I think we did it justice. It was extremely gratifying to have Barnes there on set and approve of what we were doing. We encountered a million problems in pre-production and the video almost fell through countless times… turns out doing a music video that requires a techno-crane, a city alley, explosives, and children is difficult to pull off.”

Co-produced by Ben Zaidi and Enumclaw, Home in Another Life is the natural expansion of the high-octane rock foundation the band built with their widely-praised 2022 debut album Save The Baby. Across the eleven tracks of Home in Another Life, vocalist and principle songwriter Aramis Johnson cracks open his chest cavity for quakingly tender songs written and performed to electrify basement shows and reverberate through arenas in equal measure. Aramis and Enumclaw write and perform like a band wrestling with the weight of growing up without looking for pity or to wallow in that baggage, while harnessing the power of reckoning with those changes head-on and kicking the door down for bands just like them in a predominately white indie-rock space. Home In Another Life is louder, faster, poignant and achingly resonant, but doesn’t forget how to have fun and enjoy the moment too. Home in Another Life brings the world to Tacoma rather than the other way around. 

Enumclaw will also be joining twen on a run of dates this Summer across the US, beginning August 4th in Chattanooga, TN and spanning across the country before it concludes on September 3rd in Fayetteville, AR. In the time since the release of Save The Baby, Enumclaw has criss-crossed North America performing across the continent to serve fans in both major markets and small towns that are often overlooked on routed tour runs. Alongside the announcement of Home In Another Life, the band released a tour documentary recounting their first tour run overseas and expressing an appreciation for the long nights, early mornings and the full scope of life on tour, narrated by Aramis Johnson. Enumclaw is rounded out by guitarist Nathan Cornell, drummer Ladaniel Gipson, bassist (and Aramis’ younger brother) Eli Edwards. Watch “A Working Band Abroad” HERE.
