Enumclaw - "Jimmy Neutron" from the 2022 album Save the Baby on Luminelle Recordings.

It can often be tough to trace exactly where and when a band \\u201cbroke\\u201d but for Enumclaw, it\\u2019s pretty straightforward. KEXP\\u2019s own Martin Douglas first wrote about the Tacoma band on KEXP\\u2019s website and, shortly after, major publications like Pitchfork, Stereogum, Gorilla vs. Bear, and The Fader followed suit. So, for all intents and purposes, we claim them as ours.

Last week, the quartet - made up of Aramis Johnson, Nathan Cornell, Eli Edwards, and Ladaniel Gipson - released their debut full-length Save the Baby. Produced by Gabe Wax, who\\u2019s also manned the boards for Soccer Mommy, Palehound, and Ian Sweet, the highly anticipated record continues their streak of \\u201890s-inspired indie rock. Our Song of the Day, \\u201cJimmy Neutron,\\u201d is a dreamy rocker about the desire for love and the pitfalls of making it a reality.

"This song is about getting so close to love that you can almost taste it," says Johnson of the track. "All the highs of being in love and how ridiculously unlike yourself it can make you act. All the daydreaming you do about what things could be and how they might go. There\'s always a catch though and in this story as soon as you reach out to grab \'love\' and have it in your hands you drop it."

Enumclaw is currently touring the US, check out their scheduled dates to make sure you don\'t miss "the best band since Oasis." Recently, Martin Douglas spoke with Enumclaw and revisited the beginning of his relationship with the band for KEXP. Read the full post and\\xa0watch the John C.
