Not since the Milwaukee trio’s People Living with Animals. Animals Kill People. (when ex/future Promise Ring members Scott Schoenbeck and Scott Beshta were still in the band) has Pele had a fourth member on electronics. 2002’s Enemies welcomed the addition of Jon Minor to computer/electronics.

As with all of Pele’s prior releases, Enemies, the band’s fifth full-length, was recorded by guitarist Chris Rosenau and the now infamous “shot o’ wang” artwork that appears on the back cover is rumored to be a portrait of Pele drummer, Jon Mueller. Jon also runs a label that releases experimental, free-form music called Crouton.
