The singer-songwriter may have embraced new delivery systems but he hasn’t dramatically remodeled his style. Although “World Waits” is only the second solo outing of Enigk’s 12-year recording career the albums he makes under his name fit neatly with his work with Sunny Day Real Estate and the Fire Theft. Some call it prog-punk: music that forgoes the most outlandish pretensions of ’70s progressive rock yet whose most dramatically yearning choruses approach that genre’s faux-operatic crescendos. “World Waits” is less ornate than 1996’s “Return of the Frog Queen” and Enigk — backed by a four-piece rock band — did without most orchestral embellishments (save for an occasional synth-strings flourish). A few of the numbers suffered from the sparer accompaniment and Enigk’s road-weary tenor had a raspy edge muddying the more delicate melodies. But such new songs as “City Tonight” worked just fine as moody stripped-down rockers. With of course dramatically yearning choruses.

onward — The festival begins! We watch a British throwback punk band the Subways. I find their enthusiasm and constant use of rock clichés kind of endearing though their music is basically a couple of oversimplified power chords. My dad describes it more succinctly: “They [stunk] from start to finish. ” I’m in too good a mood to be so cynical. If you’re ever going to be idealistic a rock festival is the place to do it nein?Saturday Aug.
