Enjoy The Weekend (ETW) present October 24 > 26, 2025, a full-length album written, recorded, mixed, and mastered in the span of a single weekend. This self-imposed limit is more than a gimmick: it’s a method. By fixing creation to Friday-night blankness and Sunday-night closure, ETW turn time pressure into the condition of the Act—where decisions can’t be deferred and meaning is produced retroactively, in the heat of making.
The concept is pushed further this time: the track order follows the exact sequence of recording, and the lyrics form one continuous chain. The result is a concept album in the strong sense—less a collection of songs than a compact narrative of subjectivation, avoiding the comfort of lyrical world-building and opting for what the Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Žižek calls a passage through fantasy. It unfolds as a coming-of-age story of a girl/young woman with leftist sympathies and an activist drive, moving from anti-authoritarian revolt (Dear Dictator) to economic emancipation (Outta the House), Icarian ambition and its crash (The Fall), and a Žižek-tinged scene of desire and hesitation (Paralyzed). Two instrumentals—Heaven in Disorder and Disparities—borrow titles from Žižek’s work, marking the album’s unsayable remainder.
On side B, activist idealism meets the libidinal traps of certainty (Good Times, Post-politics), before pleasure re-enters as political question via Girls Just Want To Have Fun. The closing Shaky Ground lands on a quiet recognition: there is no escape from antagonism by changing scenery—yet accepting that fracture is the first step toward adulthood.
October 24 > 26, 2025 is ETW’s most integrated weekend experiment yet: a three-day relay between pop and theory, where urgency makes the Real audible.
