Enjoy
Gritty bass-driven grooves and deadpan vocals that capture the restless energy of California skate culture. Lo-fi art punk with a hip-hop heart.

Enjoy sounds like a fever dream of 90s skate videos and early internet aesthetics. The music is anchored by Wyatt Shears' distinctive, punchy bass playing, which often takes the lead role over skeletal drum machine patterns and warbling, cheap-sounding synths. It is music that feels both deeply personal and intentionally aloof, capturing a specific kind of West Coast cool that is more about creative freedom than polished production.
What makes Enjoy distinctive is the 'Vada Vada' ethos: a commitment to total artistic liberty that allows Shears to jump from post-punk aggression to jazzy interludes or hip-hop-influenced breakbeats within a single track. His vocal delivery is often a rhythmic, deadpan monologue that feels like he's sharing an inside joke with the listener, blending surrealist imagery with surprisingly earnest reflections on growth and identity.
Start with 'Another Word for Joy' to hear the project at its most melodic and accessible. It perfectly balances the lo-fi charm of his early work with the sharp, infectious bass hooks that have become his signature. From there, dive into 'Exploited' to see how the sound has evolved into something more aggressive and experimental.
