The lush, often paranoid concoction that Esque conjures is the brainchild of Memphians singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Darren O’Brien and drummer Chase Anderson. Their debut EP, Everyone’s Playing, self-released in September of 2006, was widely praised by Memphis and regional press. After relocating to New York, the group began sharing the stage with the likes of Health and Crystal Castles, Suckers, the Acrylics, Free Blood, The Hundred in the Hands, Preacher & the Knife, Mirror Mirror, Omega Jarden, and more. With a team of trusted collaborators, Esque continues to explore the reconciliation of disparities, where the pummeling rhythms of post-punk and goth meet the blissful guitar and keyboard hooks of shoegaze and New Romanticism, all in support of emotionally stirring songs that capture a sophisticated glam sensuality, as well as the transcendental nostalgia of plaintive dream pop. And this is just a jumping off point, a consistent thread around which weavings of techno and electro, soul, disco, jazz, funk, Krautrock, prog, world music, and more find a welcome home.
