180g black Vinyl, INSIDE/OUT Sleeve+ Sticker, 2 page insert with Lyrics, Download Card. Four long years have passed since Enablers’ fifth album, The Rightful Pivot, which took a more intuitive approach to songwriting and collaboration, while holding on to all the ingredients—tension, surprise, and fluidity– that have always distinguished the band’s polished and idiosyncratic sound. Here’s the new one now: Zones— a cooperational release by Lancashire and Somerset, Exile on Mainstream and Broken Clover Records — is a further example of Enablers’ push for musical expansion and growth. Zones represents a band that is increasingly more comfortable with experimentation and improvisation, while continuing to embrace all the musical elements that have established their sound and style for close to twenty years. It is a fully realized record and a continuation of the band’s refusal to be pinned down by category or genre. The album is released only on vinyl with a download code attached and is out in time for the big EURO tour in June/July
