Jeremy Enigk of both the Fire Theft and influential emo/post-hardcore pioneers Sunny Day Real Estate is currently putting the final touches on his second solo album. The album is the follow up <i>Return of the Frog Quen</i> which was released a decade ago. The album is due out through his own imprint Lewis Hollow Records and distributed through Sony/BMG.

Enigk co-produced the album with Josh Myers mainly in home studios. Many of the tracks were written in the 90s and Enigk describes the sound of the some of the tracks:
<blockquote>
The
drums are really heavy and the drums are sort of the hook on this song to
me; it's not about guitar, it's not about bass. It's all about these drums
that just suddenly kick your ass. And it gets really angry. I'm not an
angry person, but vocally I just scream and at one point just sound like a
fucking lion or something
</blockquote>

But the album also promises acoustic tracks and even a "synthy 80s sound" on one song. He is
planning a European tour in July to be followed by a stop at Lollapalooza in Chicago on August 4th.

While his more recent project <a href="http://www.thefiretheft.com/">The Fire Theft</a> who recently <a href="http://www.thefiretheft.com/mboards/topic.asp?id=8184&forumID=1">w ent on a break</a>, the trio still consider themselves a band and presumably will be regrouping at some point in the future to produce new material.
