Sonic Methadone: i bands 'Enemy' Dives into the Bipolar Mind
i band’s latest video, Enemy, takes a haunting approach to the battle within, blending beautiful melodies with unsettling truths—a sonic embodiment of Tom Waits' famous quote: “I like beautiful melodies telling me terrible things.” Paying homage to the Pixies’ signature melodic grunge, Enemy delivers what guitarist Paul calls “sonic methadone”—a raw yet hypnotic experience that soothes while exposing deep emotional wounds.

Lyrically, Enemy plunges into the unstable terrain of a bipolar mind, where self-doubt and self-destruction reign. The chilling refrain—"My mind is my enemy"—is as isolating as it is revealing. Vocalist and lyricist Al describes the condition in stark terms: “Bipolarity is like breathing through a straw. You get enough oxygen to survive, but not enough to actually live.”

Visually, the music video manifests this internal battle, exposing the raw madness that lurks beneath the surface. Through fragmented emotional expressions and a disorienting, non-linear narrative, Enemy forces the viewer to confront the loneliness of an untrustworthy mind. It’s not just a song—it’s an unfiltered glimpse into the chaos within.

Are you ready to face your worst enemy?
