Gifts From Enola Announce Disbandment

Virginia post-rock band, Gifts From Enola, have announced that they are putting their band “to sleep”. After seven years and four full albums (and two splits), band members have had their fill of financial frustrations and tour-versus-real life struggles. Since the release of their fourth album, A Healthy Fear which came out in late 2012, they mention that the band started to feel similar to that of “a long-distance relationship weakening over time”.
