From Portland, Maine, EnIaM (pronounced IN-I-am) is a spell for love and revolution, exploring themes of anti-capitalism and anti-colonialism. EnIaM is cursed, blessed, insanity, reality and hood-structured spontaneity. A refreshingly original blend of moody rhodes tones, hard hitting synth-grooves, and jazz drums. Led by vocalists Marlan Hinnant and Iris Caj, EN-I-AM is fuel for resistance and bends free worlds into existence.
EnIaM is:
Marlan Hinnant- Vocals, Synth, Rhodes, Writing, Production
Iris Caj- Vocals, Synth, Writing, Production
Herb Winters- Guitar
Elliot Jacobs- Drums
Kedaar- Keys, Visuals, Guitar, Sounds, Production. [RIP to our beloved best friend, a legend in the electronic music scene, and a respected alumni and staff member of Berklee School of Music. Your loss is forever felt. We came together through diverse musical journeys, resisting the urge to unite until it couldn’t be ignored any longer. Together, we create magic.]
EnIaM
What I say I am, what I do I am, what I believe I am.
A call to positive change through re-association in a dissociative world.

BRATTLEBORO—A British political and cultural movement that emerged in the mid-70s and lasted a half-dozen years has been revived across the pond in Vermont. It’s mission: to discourage young people from embracing racism. Rock Against Racism Vermont was formed by three visual artists in the Wilmington, Vt. area, including John Langran of Great Britain. The group organized a show on Sunday, April 18, at the Third Eye Collective space on Flat St. featuring ENiAM, a Portland, Maine-based band. The band describes their hard-to-pigeonhole sound as a collage of “genres, emotions, insanity and reality.”-THE KEENE SENTINEL
