THE EARLIES

THE ENEMY CHORUS

The Earlies’ sophomore effort The Enemy Chorus is a hypnotic voyage through a largely aphotic
locale with unpredictable bursts of light and sound — perhaps amidst the heavens, or maybe
under our own feet. The album comes from a darker and less familiar place than their pop
tradition-steeped debut These Were The Earlies (released by Secretly Canadian in 2005). While
no less beautiful than that record, The Enemy Chorus carries a greater feeling of uncertainty,
longing, anxiety, and sadness. However, these tonal changes did not happen overnight, as the
seeds were planted in the sunny, pastoral pop fields of that first album. The Earlies started as a
recording project, with the four core members swapping tapes and trading files from their home
studios. Over time, the vision grew, as the core of four enlisted the help of other musicians to
translate their music to a live show — at times featuring 12+ musicians.

The group’s production skills have been greatly refined — at times, reminiscent of Nigel
Godrich
’s great layered atmospheres. The approach to recording is essentially the same, though,
and the distinct “Earlies sound” remains intact. Their listening habits changed considerably
between the recording of the two albums — exploring the depths of progressive and krautrock.
Influences range from the essential work of Faust, to prog greats Gentle Giant, to the musique
concrète madness of Jean-Claude Vannier.

The Enemy Chorus would not be truly complete without the right artwork. For that task, The
Earlies called upon Michael England. After repeated listens to the album, England delivered the
perfect visual accompaniment. The group can best explain it themselves: “He discovered the
hidden concept album within, and the whole album made more sense to us upon seeing his
artwork than it ever had previously.”
