Bio:
The life, love, and child of Mark Roberts, The Enright House was born in 2001 as a sleepy collection of field recordings and guitar loops in a cramped university dorm room in Chicago. Classically trained in both guitar and composition, and son of a dramatic soprano Brenda Roberts, Mark spent his childhood playing hide-and-seek in some of Europe’s most prestigious opera houses. After a rather confusing two and a half decades, Mark eventually ended up living and studying in Christchurch, New Zealand.

Sonically, the Enright House is constructed from various materials: a passion for the derelict and broken, prolonged spells of depression and self-imposed isolation, a deep respect for classical music, a somewhat warped pop sensibility, and as much hope and idealism as Mark can muster on his better days.

The atmosphere of The Enright House's music has been described by critics as "skittery percussion, ethereal drones with metallic resonances, and disturbingly atmospheric sounds," as well as, "pop as pop should be." Here poetry meets numbers, up meets down, and light meets the drain-pipe.

In performance, The Enright House currently incorporates mechanized drums, whispered vocals, synths, loopers, field recordings, poetry and a lot of guitars, the latter of which are typically manipulated with bows, bottle caps, glass rods, chopsticks, some love, some violence, and a handful of derelict effects.

Within the last 12 months The Enright House released the debut album "A Maze and Amazement", an acoustic EP, as well as a split 7", completed three tours, played some sweet festivals like Camp A Low Hum and Southern Amp, and finished shooting three music videos.
