“What are you about, man?” That’s the question Frank Ene asked himself when writing and recording the music for his latest EP, No Longer. Hearing Frank explain it, this was his opportunity to gaze into the mirror and paint a musical portrait of who he is, or who he was. The music on No Longer is dark, and the 90s kids in the room might hear some influences in the way of Enigma, or late-stage Duran Duran and Frank is happy if that’s what you hear, because he loves those sounds from the 1990s as well which he fuses into his own subterranean musical landscape. But, Frank will not be typecast. Nope, in fact, the way he tells it, he’s already completed his next album and is working on the next one and neither of those records will sound like this one. So, while we hope you enjoy the music you hear from No Longer, don’t get used to it, you may not hear it again, at least not from Frank.Or, maybe you will. That’s the fun thing about Ene: he seems to always be driving himself to the next destination, but - if he’s so inclined - and can find a good artistic reason for doing so, he might just turn that car around. Perhaps from the back seat, you’ll see Frank’s eyes flash in the rearview and hear him ask, “What are you about, man?” Will you have an answer?

OCTAVCAT, SIMON SCOTT, FRANK ENE.

As quarantine continues, everyone’s been handling isolation and solitude as best they can. But outside the COVID-19 context, Berkeley songwriter Frank Ene has tackled seclusion with a bout of creativity. Ene largely withdrew after an era of “Pure Bliss” (the name of Ene’s now-disbanded noise-pop group) to focus on his own material, multi-instrumental tracks that evoke classic French pop just as much as ’90s goth rock. Equal parts morose, sensual, and meditative, Frank Ene’s debut six-song No Longer is a powerful first entry into the singer’s solo discography, and with the wait officially over,  gp ahead and kick off New Music Friday with No Longer‘s album opener and title track! –Jack Anderson
