Lujo Records 2011 Sampler covers the gamut of indie excellence.

Less than a year after the release of their debut EP, Cincinnati's Enlou return with a new EP Body of Friends, Body of Water , out this week on Lujo Records. The 5-song EP improves upon their already lush and psychedelic rhythm-driven indie-pop and was mixed and mastered by T.J. Lipple of Aloha.

On the [...]
