The LP is broken up onto two distinct sides - Side A “Day” with Brock doing all the vocals is full of twisted rhythms while Side B “Night” is full of lullabies sung by Kirsten that fill the listener with a calm sense of wonder. Torben, the name of Brock & Kirsten’s son was used the sound board for this series of songs, all of the “Day” songs needed to excite him, while the “Night” songs relaxed him.
Brock rose to fame after Rolling Stone profiled his company, Videogames Adventure Services (VAS), which provided “designer kidnapping services,” which lead to appearances on “The View,” “Good Morning America,” and countless other print publications. Enright put aside kidnapping and began focusing exclusively on his artwork and was selected to participate in numerous acclaimed group exhibitions including PS1/MoMA’s Greater New York show and multiple solo shows all over the world.

“Like Patti Smith fronting Joy Division”
- Chicago Reader
"Eerie and suggestive. They definitely have something."
- NME
"DA explores worlds where angels fear to tread. Highly recommended to lovers of the Velvet Underground or Joy Division."
- CMJ
"Guitar and bass lines are angular, jolting (& thus comforting) in their nonstop muscularity. Anorexorock anxieties mixed with echoed screams from a Catholic adolescence"
- Creem
"Great lyrics, great sound. Highly recommended to people who worship Siouxsie and the Banshees"
