Ene abstained from socializing to write the songs, venturing outside mostly to work in the basement of a frame-shop or observe students on the nearby UC Berkeley campus, vintage self-help paperbacks stuffed in his pockets. When it came time to record, he opted to play nearly every instrument himself. 'Some songs are affirmations,' he said. 'The saddest ones I can't remember writing, as if someone entered my mind and body in a really brutal way.' \"Suffused with an atmosphere of slow-simmering tension, No Longer traffics in understated grooves reminiscent of latter-era Nick Cave \u0026amp; the Bad Seeds, with Ene's rich voice somehow sounding at once wispy and full-bodied. 'Flesh In The Womb,' one of the songs to feature songwriter and Fresh \u0026amp; Onlys guitarist Wymond Miles, channels the lasciviousness of Serge Gainsbourg as well as the beguiling sparseness of Dean Blunt. The lyrics to 'Housing Alcove,' a crushing meditation on childhood trauma, reveal competing, interconnected feelings of vulnerability and ambition (a duality captured by the evocative album art). A dynamic, repeat listen, No Longer stands among the most musically arresting and emotionally contoured Bay Area solo debuts in recent memory.\" -Sam Lefebvre\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 No Longer \u003cbr\u003e1.2 I've Studied You \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Drown \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Flesh in a Womb \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Housing Alcove \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Ides Underneath\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Franke Ene","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32479956959303,"sku":"40649627","price":22.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/3841596-2586569.jpg?v=1711595200","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/franke-ene-no-longer","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
