Ace Enders and a Million Different People - "Rain" (2008)

Ace Enders and a Million Different People is the new project of former The Early November front man Ace Enders. After TEN called it quits in 2007, Enders never stopped writing songs and began posting demos on his Myspace shortly thereafter. The style of his new music is very much along the lines of the Mother disc from The Early November’s final 3 disc album, The Mother, the Mechanic and the Path. That is to say it’s a little more acoustic in nature, rocking out at times, but with more of an alt-country feel when it does. I’m not saying Enders is trying to be like Ryan Adams or anything, but he’s a little less emo this time around. Enders has yet have a proper release save for a digital only single of his cover of The Verve’s “Bittersweet Symphony.” It can be purchased on iTunes and the proceeds go to benefit VH1’s Save the Music Foundation which preserves music programs in public schools. Enders has stated that the name Ace Enders and a Million Different People comes from the line in “Bittersweet Symphony” that says “I’m a million different people from one day to the next.” Last year, an eight song album named The Secret Wars was put up for free download at fuse.tv. It’s a good sample of what he’s been working on. Today’s song is my favorite of the collection and features and outstanding guitar lick. His first official full length will be entitled When I Hit the Ground and will be out on Vagrant/Drive-Thru Records in March. If The Secret Wars is any indication of what to expect, I’m eagerly anticipating it.
