It’s impossible for me to hide my admiration for Jeremy Enigk. Sunny Day Real Estate was such a huge part of my youth and his solo material has helped me get through the hard times. So it was no surprise that I was extremely excited to hear him play Sunny Day songs as well as new material on his last spring tour. Jeremy has very quietly been working on his upcoming solo release and has stayed tight lipped about anything regarding his past project, The Fire Theft. So I guess we’ll have to see what happens on his upcoming US tour. Hopefully we’ll get some straight answers. You won’t find any in this week’s Kuestionnaire. But it’s interesting nonetheless.
