Stagnant Pools are Bryan and Douglass Enas, two brothers (21 and 22) from Bloomington, Indiana. With just one guitar and a drum kit, they make music which the Chicago Reader described as "Drone-heavy, slate-gray art-rock that should appeal to fans of Disappears, Joy Division, and Sonic Youth records from back when they were still
actually scary."

After a couple of DIY releases, the sibling duo spent one day in the studio recording their debut full-length Temporary Room, which was released in August by Polyvinyl Records (Japandroids, Of Montreal, Deerhoof). With a tour van as a recent graduation present and tours under their belt with Japandroids, School of Seven Bells, Maximo Park, and David Bazan, the band will continue touring Nationally and Internationally in 2013.
