Enjoy Your Pumas Release Video For “He Was A Fly”

      
"...an ambient brand of pop-rock inspired by the likes of Radiohead and Sigur Ros." --Darryl Sterdan, Winnipeg Sun

Winnipeg, MB (January 26, 2011) — Power pop group Enjoy Your Pumas show off their personalities in their new music video for “He Was a Fly”. The playful video is filled with dreamy images, beautiful lighting and a cool retro feel. It shows the band on a journey toward a house where they find an idyllic place to play. “He Was a Fly” can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LK1sQI7nDXQ. The track can be found on Enjoy Your Pumas’ debut LP Commonality.



The video was directed by Steven Schwartz, who recently made headlines with his heart-warming and award-winning Christmas short “Santa Stops By”. Josh Benoit, Enjoy Your Pumas’ guitar player, who will graduate from film school this semester, produced “He Was a Fly”, which was filmed on two days about a month apart.  

Commonality is great hooks, layered guitars, a tight, poppy rhythm section and Rosie Blais’ strong diverse vocals, and is sure to remind listeners of Metric, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Bloc Party. The album was recorded primarily at Private Ear Recording Studio in Winnipeg.  Death Cab for Cutie, Matt Epp, and The Waking Eyes have all recorded there. Enjoy Your Pumas appreciated the relatively lengthy time they were allowed to spend recording (six days) and put it to good use. “Working on the band for five straight days was like a vacation. A working vacation. It was a pleasant taste of what music as a career would be like,” says Janzen.  Josh Benoit felt the album reflected this time well spent, “It sounds like a band that has put time and thought into the execution of their music.”

Enjoy Your Pumas has enjoyed a few other pleasant tastes of the music business in 2010. They made national headlines when they won the OurStage.com contest to open for Bon Jovi and Kid Rock on the Regina, Saskatchewan stop of their world stadium tour. The lead single from Commonality ,“Weight of the Circles” reached the Top Ten on Winnipeg indie station Kick FM and has received heavy airplay on Winnipeg stations Curve 94.3, Hot 103, as well as CBC Radio.

Praise for Enjoy Your Pumas

"It’s good. Really good… the soundtrack to your dreams… a dynamic and diverse recording." Jared Story, Uptown Magazine

"Vocalist Rosie Blais is diverse as they come, with a huge voice." --Kevin Breuner and Peter Swenson, Cdbaby.Com Music Discovery Podcast

"Blais’ stream-of-conscious lyrics add evocative brush strokes to the band’s sinewy, polyrhythmic indie rock...Infinitely listenable."

"Time for atmospheric music to reach a new level… a bunch of energetic and passionate artists who love to take their listeners on a unique journey." --Cendrine Marrouat, Winnipeg Art Examiner

"...an ambient brand of pop-rock inspired by the likes of Radiohead and Sigur Ros." --Darryl Sterdan, Winnipeg Sun

"Energetic, punchy guitar lines and atmospheric indie-pop...Helped by the powerful, wide-ranging voice...similar to that of Let's Buy Happiness." --Just Music That I Like

"They offer an early taste with free song “Weight of the Circles,” where a busy drum beat and pumping bass underpin chiming guitars, while Blais’ voice spirals upward on the chorus." --Listen, damnit

"...blends powerful soaring vocals with atmospheric guitars and a rhythm section that packs more punch than a boxing glove factory." --The Devil Had The Best Tuna

"If the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Sleater-Kinney and Blondie spliced up, this might be the recessive gene. Enjoy Your Pumas is decidedly lo-fi and low-key, but its snotty-yet-expansive take on dirty pop is quite ingratiating. I haven't found much depth yet, but maybe I'm not listening hard enough. Something here tickles me ears." --aidabet.com

"Blais proves herself to be an enthralling vocalist, whose range helps to ensure that Enjoy Your Pumas never sound one-note. When upbeat and edgy, her raw style is reminiscent of Karen O or even PJ Harvey, but at other times it shows an ability to switch to balladry that’s more in keeping with artists such as Kate Bush or Bjork." --Jack Foley, indieLONDON

"...Her voice draws a strong resemblance to Gwen Stefani of the ska/punk band No Doubt. But, Enjoy Your Pumas carries a more alternative rock sound similar to Radiohead." --JP's Music Blog
