“Enough” by Night Movies is a soundtrack in search of a worthy existential dystopian science fiction film in which it can be placed. The distorted droning and slow-twisting soundscapes and sense of desperate menace mixed with desolation whorls around Anna Papadimitriou’s (of Hawxx) clear and evocative vocals calling out yearning for confirmation of being enough, being worthy of all the dignity and respect all people should have but articulating a deep felt sense of not knowing if that is the case, intoning a haunted sense of displacement at one’s core. Musically it’s reminiscent of something by Swans or Growing with the heightened mood of spiritual exploration and catharsis and ends peacefully without a clear cut mood of resolution which is a more brave creative choice than one hears in a lot of modern music. Listen to “Enough” on Bandcamp and follow Night Movies at the links provided. The single is paired with a industrial drone cover of “The End” by The Doors comparable to the dark expanses of Patti Smith circa Radio Ethiopia.
