Album Description *Friend/Enemy is the new release from the confounding and prolific collective that brought us Cap?n Jazz, Joan of Arc and Owls. Spattering, loud, wild and moody. Lyrical twists forming scenarios previously unimagined. *Songs began with a loose foundation of guitar and vocal parts from Tim Kinsella and Todd Mattei and were built up from there with drums, bass, banjos, pianos and all manner of noisemakers and ghosts by this stellar group of musicians. Tim Kinsella - guitars, singing, etc (owls, joan of arc) Todd Mattei - guitars, singing, etc (joan of arc) Jim Becker - pedal steel, banjo (paulina hollers, califone) Caryn Culp - backing vocals (plastic crime wave) Graeme Gibson - organ (mansion) Emma Grace Ketner - backing vocals Zac Hill - drums (hella, team sleep) Andy Lansangan - electric piano, marimba (90 day men) Nick Macri - bass (euphone, the zincs, sunny day real estate) Chris Powell - drums, percussion, piano (need new body) Azita Youssefi - piano (bride of no no) Sam Zurick - bass (joan of arc, owls) Recorded and mixed by Graeme Gibson at Clava and The Slabb, Chicago, November 2001 and January 2002. (insert adjective here) windstorm swept-drunk gradeschool textbooks, typos and accidental music. opposing and random musical and emotional trajectories; fuck it; inner / outer wringing-pure-pop from trout mask dissonance arrangements, threatening to break into a million pieces and instead resolving into delicate piano and guitar patterns. acoustic misuse. nylon strings abuse. drop banjo notes down the stairs one, at, a, time. scratch-paper math. done in fragments paints unruly edges on too sweet baby pictures. ghostly, shards of chaos. a drum kit kicked off a cliff, panning out from the clutter of an addled brain to the serenity. ?

CD ReviewsAn Honest/Dishonest Review A Face I Have Found | Irvine, CA USA | 04/26/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) ""10 Songs" by Friend/Enemy is hard to pin down. I liken it to the readymade art of Duchamp, in that it leaves the observer wondering if they've witnessed sheer artistic brilliance or utter stupidity. Such paradox is not unheard of in art world, and this-mind you-extends well into the aural arts. Contrary to common assumption, distinguishing wit from dim-wit is often as arduous as attempting to find the fine line between east and west. It seems that Kinsella, Mattei, and the slew of other Chicagoan sidekicks have not only managed to find the line, they've also succeeded in slinking as close to it as humanly possible without obliterating it or crossing over onto either side. What listeners are left with is "10 Songs", a Socratic album that forces listeners to determine which side of the line it falls on. Despite the fact that, in terms of musical accessibility, Friend/Enemy make even Joan of Arc's dazzling weirdness seem about as poppy as the early Beatles repertoire; the bottom line remains the same: Friend/Enemy have put the ball in your court. And whether "10 Songs" is... genius/idiocy purposed/haphazard focused/meandering meaningful/pointless beautiful/ugly talented/inept real/fake incredible/unbearable good/bad friend/enemy ...is up to you to decide. " Everywhere else is the same place... Mikey G | Philadelphia, PA USAPhiladelphia, PA USA | 10/19/2002 (3 out of 5 stars) "I am very pleased with this new solid release from the art-core mastermind Tim Kinsella. The album is kinda like a blend of Kinsella's styles in the way that it can be slow and melodic at times like Joan of Arc but can turn around and be rockin similar Owls. Though, at times some of the songs seem to drag on. The instrumentation on this album is beautiful. The 12 piece band really makes a difference in the overall sound. Recommended for fans of Joan of Arc and Owls."
