ESSES (https://www.facebook.com/essesoakland) are an atmospheric post punk quintet from Oakland, California, who formed in 2014 and feature a line up of Miss Kel (Vocals), Dawn Hills (Guitars), Skot B (Guitars), Scout Leight (Bass) & Kevin Brown (Drums). They've just premiered their new album, Bloodletting For The Lonely, via a Twitch TV livestream party which featured a video for each of the songs giving a visual as well as an audio experience. If you missed it, it gets rebroadcast tomorrow (check out their Facebook page for details).
The album is out tomorrow on coloured and standard vinyl plus cd and digital download. You can get it here : https://essesoakland.bandcamp.com/album/bloodletting-for-the-lonely
The album "centres around the topics of mental health, memory, and trauma, roaming over the events that are internalized into an unconscious space like a lucid dream and the world around which we cannot escape. The record interprets the psychology of moving through this comatose space as two separate beings inhabiting the same body and archetypal imagery. Emerging with “The Source” and culminating in “Schism,” the record progresses with a continuous storytelling approach throughout the nine meticulously ordered numbers."
They promise that this sophomore release will see them gloomier and heavier than ever with the press pack throwing out words such as emotional, haunting, bewitching, evocative etc...
If you're into lovingly crafted gothic punk than this is for you.
This track is called Little Mouse...
