Laced with dreamy textures reminiscent of artists like Ritt Momney and Still Woozy, "Insult to Injury" is an indie-pop plea to the relentless jerks in life. Those who always bring you down. Those who belittle you and treat you as sub-human. The song speaks to the need for empathy amongst friends and enemies alike.

Written by Matt Salois of Deer Fellow, this final track completes the duo's sophomore EP Unraveling. Self-produced and performed by Deer Fellow. Recorded, mixed, and mastered by Erik Wofford of Cacophony Recorders.

Lyrics:
"How am I supposed to get anywhere when nobody cares?
How can I ever be well-prepared when nothing is fair?
You kick me when I'm already down
Never help me up off the ground
And later say you were just clowning around
Don't add insult to injury
Please don't belittle me
With insult to injury
Please show some sympathy
Insult to injury, it's killing me
Don't you already know you should be less critical?
Don't be unreasonable
It really isn't that difficult
But you don't even try to sympathize
With anyone you criticize
Don't add insult to injury
Please don't belittle me
With insult to injury
Please show some sympathy
Insult to injury, it's killing me
Why are you always on the attack?
Why do you get off on acting like that?
I need for someone to build me back up
A few words of kindness should be enough
Don't add insult to injury (8x)
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't add insult to injury
It's killing me"

Insult to Injury

Love Is Everywhere (feat. Jocelyn Barth) [Remix]

"Intelligible Sphere," featuring the ethereal voice of jazz vocalist Jocelyn Barth, draws inspiration from lucid dreaming. It interweaves a woodwind quartet, upright bass, and acoustic guitar to create a syncretic tapestry of sound and emotion. This single serves as the prologue, setting the stage for Enoki's album, "How To Be a Fig Tree." It is the first release, preparing the listener for the musical feast to come.

Intelligible Sphere (feat. Jocelyn Barth) [Remix]

“The Forest Dreams of the Sky” delves into the concept of Biophilia, the innate love for nature within us.

The first song from the collection, “Intelligible Sphere” represents an awakening of the imagination through dreams. This song envisions a further stage, the blissful moment when our dreams extend through empathy to capture other realities. The optimism of youthful innocence is at play here in the harmony and lyrics.

"

when expansive creative energy is seeking expression 
or a root
offering new versions of self
new growth
it will always follow the path of least resistance
energy goes where it is supported
a weak container fails as its contents ferment 
swell 
expand
unable to adapt to evolving paramaters
wasting the potential contained within
allow newness to take root
an ember must grow to become a fire
it's potential defined by the conditions of its environment
when the energy of radical potential becomes present
feel into it
know of it
mentalizing it
hold it
holding it
it will want to express
it will expand
just flow
embrace new beginnings
