Faith and maturity in Enigk's musical journey
I can't honestly claim more than a passing familiarity with Jeremy Enigk's work. Granted, I spent my time listening to Sunny Day Real Estate in high school, a seminal alternative rock band Enigk fronted in the mid-'90s that helped lay the foundation of the genre exasperatingly referred to as emo in recent years.
