Es - Chemical

 

  Es are a 4 piece post punk band from London featuring members of Primetime (a band that topped the Just Some Punk Songs end of year chart in 2014), Scrap Brain and Gloss Reaction; Maria Cecilia Tedemalm (vocals), Katy Cotterell (bass), Tamsin M. Leach (drums) and Flora Watters (keyboards). I featured a song from their Object Relations 12" a few years ago (https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2017/02/es-everything-is-fine.html) and am happy to report they're back and readying to release a debut album called Less Of Everything. It'll be out on Upset The Rhythm on 3rd April (pre order : http://upsettherhythm.bigcartel.com/product/es-less-of-everything-lp-pre-order) and hopes are high, especially now that they've released a video for one of the songs from it.

  I described the last song I posted by them as hypnotic and slightly creepy and this new one has similar hypnotic qualities but is a step up. It's catchier and more expansive whilst still retaining a chilly goth vibe. Flora's keyboard nags away, swirling and captivating whilst Maria bemoans emotional and physical fatigue. It's called Chemical...

Es - Everything Is Fine

   Es are a synth led diy post punk band from London and Glasgow who's line up features Maria and Flora from Primetime (https://primetimepunx.bandcamp.com/), Katy from Gloss Reaction  and Tamsin from Scrap Brain (https://scrapbrainhc.bandcamp.com/).  Last autumn they released their debut 12" ep on La Vida Es Un Mus. Titled Object Relations, you can find it here : https://lavidaesunmus.bandcamp.com/album/object-relations-12-2

  If "feminist coldwave" featuring synth rather than guitar sounds like your cup of tea then I'm sure you'll enjoy this (in fact you probably discovered it a few months ago and are wondring why I'm so late to the party!). The lead track from the ep is a hypnotic and slightly creepy song called Everything Is Fine....
