barcelona punks enemic interior on their desperate, dreamy post-punk
A discussion of their three EPs and what their dungeon aesthetic truly represents.
The members of Enemic Interior have shared the lyrics from the songs of their third self-titled EP, but the Barcelona punks aren’t sure the English translations from the original Catalan convey their intentions. Perhaps they were concerned about words like “the magic of blood” or “a lance in my chest.” Paired with the knight on Enemic Interior III’s artwork, listeners might assume that they’re LARPing through the distant past.
“I’m not sure it’s only this dungeon thing,” bassist Sergi Vilà Bori said on a video call. “It’s this dark feeling buried under a lot of different layers and this moment of clarity when you access it. Your body knows this—this access to a pure truth about yourself.” If there’s a central message in these hardcore-forward post-punk songs, it’s right in the translation of the band’s name—they’re shouting about the inner enemy.
