Return of the Frog Queen (Expanded Edition)
Jeremy Enigk
performed with legendary indie rock band Sunny Day Real Estate from 1993 to
2000. He was their singer, songwriter, and one of their guitarists. In 1996,
following Sunny Day Real Estate’s first breakup (which lasted from 1995 to
1997), Enigk released his first solo album, Return
of the Frog Queen.
Return of the Frog Queen
represents a major shift from the sound of Sunny Day Real Estate. The album features
a 21-piece orchestra backing Enigk as he performs striking, dramatic,
chamber-pop compositions that demonstrate the full breadth of Enigk’s talents
as a singer, musician, and songwriter. The album was produced by Greg
Williamson, who also produced Sunny Day Real Estate’s 1998 comeback album, How it Feels to Be Something On.
Return of the Frog Queen has
been out of print since its original 1996 pressing. This reissue includes the
original album, remastered in 2018, plus digital bonus tracks from Enigk’s 1996
live session on Seattle radio station The End.
