Attitude
Enso Anima is the mountain you pass every day on your commute and have always dreamed of climbing. Enso Anima is when you learn to appreciate whatever you are doing in the moment just as much as escaping from it. Enso Anima is the kiss with a little bit of bite, the shovelful of earth thrown onto a grave or a newly planted tree. Enso Anima is the secret you keep in a part of yourself so deep you cannot even make sense of it, the cross that you bear that gives you strength because it lets you know you have the right to live.
Enso Anima is the sound you hear between your ears when no one else is around. Enso Anima is the house at the end of the dead end street with flaking shutters and knobbly clumps of weeds in the yard and a giant hole in the roof and an even bigger, entirely inexplicable allure. Enso Anima is flipping the fu*k out in your best friend’s room to some album you two share, some little slice of heaven that is not quite the same unless it is shared thus. Enso Anima is digging your fingernails deep into your cheekbones and becoming intoxicated by the smell. Enso Anima is getting drunk and climbing a tree in a lighting storm, just to feel death breathing down your neck. Enso Anima is watching the world end and having a hand to hold. Enso Anima is watching someone cry and knowing you’re going to love them forever and a day. Enso Anima is three guys writing and playing music and loving it ferociously. We’re looking for a bassist and vocalist who feels the same.
