Enclave 為即將發行的EP 專輯 World in progress 密鑼緊鼓，他們自上年6月開始就開始磨拳擦掌，包括於封城前後的表演活動，其中包括在Yours & Owls音樂節的現場演出。

現在當澳洲正慢慢地慢慢地回復正常， 他們也在10月起發起了EP的第一首名為 Pale Guilt 的單曲作品， 一首寫下了他們對白人內疚感及收此所發出的表演性的行動主義所產生的不滿以及同情 。 『那裡仍有認清的價值，直視它在你根源中的真相 （There’s value left to learn, meet the truth it’s in your roots）』。主唱 Pat McCarthy 繼續說：『 表演性的行動主義利用了少數群體的傷痛和創傷，他們一直在做的事情是一種來自一種特權，而且往往是在不知不覺中。有時，我們的行動主義只是為了讓別人看到。 我認為這欠缺誠實的自我反省。 當沒有人看的時候，我們淪落為什麼？（Performative activism capitalizes on the pain and trauma of minority groups, it’s privileged doing what they have always done, and quite often unknowingly. Sometimes the extent of our activism can exist solely for the world to see. I believe honest self-reflection is lacking. Who are we when nobody is looking）』

Enclave 是由幾位志同道合，來自幾個包括City Rose, COLD/HEAT, Black Drum, 和 Lorelei 的不同樂隊成員組成而誕生。 他們的狂熱的創作背後的概念都總帶著共同社區和個人發展為目標。Enclave 努力讓他們的音樂反映他們希望自身能於自己以外的世界作貢獻的強烈衝動。

World in progress 將會在明年開初發行。這張EP專輯會觸碰到例如個人發展、尋找幫助他人的意義，對更好的世界存有希望、以及對於未能與撒手人寰的愛人溝通帶來的無奈痛楚等的主題。

這個直播演出將會是Hounds of Pamir 的節目年終節目，這個節目是由精通多個藝術範疇，來自印度拉達克的 Ruhail Qaisar 的主持。

這個通常長60分鐘的常駐節目製作由當初取材於當地零下氣候、iPhone 上的 Moog 合成器、當地的現場錄音而組成的現場演出，在整個疫情的局限性中，進一步延伸到一個大型協作，以電台方式請來自世界各地的嘉賓展示的不同場景， 集體和藝術家，無論任何流派。

ENGLISH VERSION
Enclave return in preparation for their upcoming EP titled ‘World in progress’.The group has been sharpening their swords since their first release in June of last year, playing shows in-between Country and State lockdowns, including a performance at Yours & Owls festival earlier this year.

Now, just as Australia slowly opens itself up again, in October Enclave followed suit with the first release from their EP. Titled ‘Pale Guilt’, a song written out of frustration toward the absurdity that is performative activism while simultaneously having a closer, more forgiving look at white guilt and shame. “There’s value left to learn, meet the truth it’s in your roots.”

Vocalist Pat McCarthy adds “Performative activism capitalizes on the pain and trauma of minority groups, it’s privileged doing what they have always done, and quite often unknowingly. Sometimes the extent of our activism can exist solely for the world to see. I believe honest self-reflection is lacking. Who are we when nobody is looking? ”

Enclave was birthed as a result of the camaraderie shared between members of City Rose, COLD/HEAT, Black Drum, and Lorelei. Creating fierce music with a sense of shared community and self-development in mind, Enclave strives for their music to reflect the strong compulsion they share to be of use to the world outside of themselves.

‘World in progress’ will be released at the beginning of the new year. The EP approaches themes such as self-development, finding purpose in the aid of others, remaining hopeful for a better world, and the pain and frustration felt from no longer being able to communicate with loved ones taken too soon.

This live performance also marks the year-end episode of Hounds of Pamir, an ongoing radio residency at Hong Kong Community Radio hosted by multidisciplinary artist Ruhail Qaisar from Ladakh, India.
