Jim Eno (born February 8, 1966 [1]) is the drummer and one of the founding members of the Austin, Texas band Spoon. He is also a record producer and a semiconductor chip designer.
Overview
Eno was born in Rhode Island. He studied electrical engineering at North Carolina State University[2] and worked as a hardware design engineer at Compaq Computer Corporation in Houston before moving to Austin in 1992 to design microchips for Cadence Design Systems.[3] Since joining Spoon he has also worked for Metta Technology as an electrical engineer, but has worked entirely in music since mid-2006.[4]
Eno met the lead singer of Spoon, Britt Daniel, when replacing the drummer of Daniel's former band The Alien Beats.[5] He has a studio in his home, known as Public Hi-Fi, where the band has often recorded. He has co-produced albums for Spoon and has produced albums for other bands, not including Via Audio and Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears.[6] He recently produced two songs for the solo debut of former Voxtrot frontman, Ramesh Srivastava, and mixed all three of the "EP 1" songs.[7]
He was ranked 31st in Stylus magazine's list of fifty greatest rock drummers.[8]
