about
Cold was one of the first tracks we ever wrote, written from a place of admiration for our close friend and her family. We vividly remember meeting her and the infectious energy she brought to our friend group so to discover that she had a sister, who was terminally ill, really took us back. As she and her family battled one of the most tragic experiences imaginable, their love remained fortified and their heads grounded.
Witnessing this set our adolescent self-destructive behaviour into perspective. We wrote something we hope echoes an acceptance that you can be bruised without being broken. A sentiment that could have easily been lost in a track of this nature however, Mount Palomar helped us resurface this through his production and suggestions when reshaping the song to what it is now. Forcing us of decisions when recording with him to deliver something tender, which he could then propel to sound as confident as our heavier side.
For some time, we were all dealing with personal issues behind the scenes but that is exactly why Cold was the most appropriate track for us to record next. It reminded us that our issues weren’t as big as they seemed and because we stuck together, we surpassed them. Cold is not just a song of incomparable loss; it is about not being alone through it.

lyrics
Winter will, come and go but
She’ll stay cold
Stand still, time won’t will for
Toys she’ll never hold
Precious minutes all spent with
Frequent fits and hospital visits
Take her hand to feel her shake,
Soft touch that’ll make you quake
She’s cold
She’s cold
Nobody knows how this goes,
And she’ll, stay cold,
Watch it dissolve until there’s nothing left to hold
This was not the life you’re sold
When thoughts unfold, tear off the stitch
Cuts so deep, can’t remove the itch
Life’s so bleak but that’s a part of it
Your soul shrieks at the heart of it
Stuck in this shit, where does it fit
She’s cold
She’s cold
See the staples
Now she’s cold
Stuck in a ward kids are bored,
bring your brave face
Running the race at the monitor’s pace
Bring your brave face
You keep a tight hold no matter what you’re told
She’s cold
(She’s cold)
She’s cold
(She’s cold)
See the staples
Now she’s cold
She’s cold
She’s cold
She’ll stay cold
Stand still, time won’t will for
Toys she’ll never hold
Precious minutes all spent with
Frequent fits and hospital visits
Take her hand to feel her shake,
Soft touch that’ll make you quake
She’s cold
She’s cold
Nobody knows how this goes,
And she’ll, stay cold,
Watch it dissolve until there’s nothing left to hold
This was not the life you’re sold
When thoughts unfold, tear off the stitch
Cuts so deep, can’t remove the itch
Life’s so bleak but that’s a part of it
Your soul shrieks at the heart of it
Stuck in this shit, where does it fit
She’s cold
She’s cold
See the staples
Now she’s cold
Stuck in a ward kids are bored,
bring your brave face
Running the race at the monitor’s pace
Bring your brave face
You keep a tight hold no matter what you’re told
She’s cold
(She’s cold)
She’s cold
(She’s cold)
See the staples
Now she’s cold
She’s cold
She’s cold

about
Enola Gay Belfast, UK
Belfast-based Irish noise-punk 4-piece formed in late 2019. Offering venomous hip-hop-inspired vocals that are as
uncompromising as the guitars are unforgiving, layered on a rhythm section that draws as much from left-field electronica and techno as it does from post-punk heroes of the late 70s.
