Esmerine - Mechanics Of Dominion - VINYL LP

Esmerine - Lost Voices [VINYL LP] 180 Gram date 10/16/2015

Co-founded ten years ago by percussionist Bruce Cawdron (Godspeed You! Black Emperor) and cellist Rebecca Foon (Thee Silver Mt. Zion), Esmerine enters it's second decade with a new album and an expanded line-up harp-player Sarah Page and multi-instrumentalist Andrew Barr. La Lechuza documents the evolution of Esmerine under the influence of this expanded membership, and is dedicated to beloved and internationally renowned Montreal-based singer Lhasa de Sela, who died on New Year's Day 2010 at the age of 37.

Produced by Ian Levine, one of the most influential DJs of the genre, there are no less than 24 recordings here that recapture the essence of a music style born of the late 60s and early 70s and still popular worldwide. Northern soul is at the root of the dance music scene which for over 35 years has attracted die hard fans including many who yearn for new music to be made in that style without losing the magic of what made the original records so special.
