Enablers Serve Up Spoken Word Post-Punk Pleasure With “Bill, In Consideration” (premiere)

Zones is the sixth studio full-length album from Enablers, the long-running San Francisco quartet. The record, which arrives on 14 June, is being issued through a trinity of labels: Germany’s Exile on Mainstream, UK-based Lancashire & Somerset, and US-based Broken Clover Records. The LP will see release on 14 June in a run of 1,000 copies on 180-gram black pure virgin vinyl with MP3 download card included. Preorders are now live via Exile on Mainstream in Germany and via Broken Clover Records in the U.S.

The outfit’s new video, “Bill, In Consideration” is a prime example of the group’s spoken word/post-punk poetry with flecks of jazz splattered across the sonic landscape like paint in Jackson Pollock’s studio. If the Fall’s Mark E. Smith had been raise on a steady diet of American horrors and grown up in the post-Vietnam era and rising tide of consumerism and commercialism, this may have been the result. Enablers’ music is not made for passive consumption and this tune bodes well for Zones, a record that seems guaranteed to grab us by our collectivize throats.
