Better known as the principal singer/songwriter for (the now disbanded) Sunny Day Real Estate, Jeremy Enigk (pronounced ee-nihk) arrives here with his debut solo work, Return of the Frog Queen. This return precipitates a near-audible sigh of relief from Sunny Day fans as they feared the worst after the break-up of the band. The SDRE rhythm section have since gone on to national prominence as Foo Fighters, but the question remained what was up with Jeremy? Jeremy's spiritual re-awakening was the stuff of legend thanks to his self-penned, and subsequently oft-posted, email testimonial. Now, almost 2 years later, Jeremy follows that testimonial with Return of the Frog Queen, and a more auspicious affirmation of musical intent one could not hope to ask for.

Return of the Frog Queen is the stunning result of a year's worth of effort; and it is certain to live up to fans of Jeremy's previous work with Sunny Day Real Estate. It is also poised to cross over to heretofore undreamed audiences. By extrapolating the passion and graceful bombast of his previous band and delicately draping it in acoustic and orchestral textures Jeremy has created a work of astounding and enduring beauty.
