Esmerine - Mechanics Of Dominion - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Their sophomore , AWESOMER had an acute pop sensibility, an arsenal of hooks and an energy that left smiles on their audiences. Their third is more diverse The band balances their frenetic burts with tempered songs. For fans of Mudhoney, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Dead Moon, Pixies and the Wipers.

When Esmerine surfaced with La Lechuza in 2011, the album signaled many things The band's first new recordings in six years, an expanded line-up, and a song cycle inspired by and dedicated to the life and untimely death of a dear friend and fellow musician. Esmerine's 2013 album Dalmak emphatically confirms that the group has continued writing, exploring and collaborating.

Esmerine presents Everything Was Forever Until It Was No More, it's first album in five years, following a celebrated run of Juno Award winning and nominated records throughout the preceding decade. Founded by ex-Godspeed You! Black Emperor percussionist Bruce Cawdron and cellist Rebecca Foon (Saltland, Silver Mt Zion, Set Fire To Flames), the acclaimed instrumental music ensemble and has long embroidered emotive chamber works using threads of post-classical, post-rock, Minimalism, neo-Baroque, jazz, pop and a wide array of folk traditions. Esmerine conjures a distinctive and immediately identifiable sound that consistently defies the trappings of InchfusionInch, forging emotive cinematic soundtracks under the overriding sonic sensibilities of postpunk grit, Wall-of-Sound, drone and dark ambient. Recorded by longtime co-producer Jace Lasek (The Besnard Lakes), the new album manifestly carries on in this fine tradition.
