Finding himself at a forced turning point in his life, Sunny Day Real Estate vocalist Jeremy Enigk embraced the challenge of crisis and, in 1996, released his debut solo album Return Of The Frog Queen. To everyone’s surprise, it turned out to be an impressively progressive work, as we explained in 2018.
It’s somewhat surprising to regard Return Of The Frog Queen as a progressive album, because it comes from a man who built his reputation in Sunny Day Real Estate – pioneers of the emo movement in the early 90s.
