Enough

by Matt Sommers

2001

It’s never enough, in so many ways.

A casual gathering of sounds and moods, I started integrating other artists into my work. "I Can See the Light" features Dan Niswander. "U Were the 1" was written with Jeff Sample. "Minotaur" was created with Lisa Ruth for a short film. "Sky Dome" repurposed an old cassette LonPaul Ellrich gave me years ago. That's his friend's voice on the track.

Feeling nostalgic, I wrote a song for my dad, and my grandma (Lois Meyers) also makes an appearance. That's real rain on "Rain". Old friend Tom Morehead's voice is heard on "Punx". "Little Bit of Love" is a harsh emotional dump, but I love the guitar solo. The album opens with a polyrhythmic groove and an odd Pink sample, and quickly goes to stranger places.
