Esser - Satisfied

It seems that whatever Esser releases is guaranteed to sound completely different from anything else he’s recorded, and with ‘Satisfied’ he’s sublimely continued this trend.

It seems that whatever Esser releases is guaranteed to sound completely different from anything else he’s recorded, and with ‘Satisfied’ he’s sublimely continued this trend. The honky-tonk, chromatic Jewish Klezmer piano combines brilliantly with Esser’s discordant style. Whilst Esser sings his emotion-laden vocals, the bizarrely instrumented accompaniment changes constantly, a clear example of Esser’s fantastic song-writing ability. Amidst these conflicting parts are the makings of a real love song which are collected together into a supremely excellent track.

Esser is evidently an eccentric, an oddball even, and a severely intriguing one too. Whatever Esser tries his hand at will without a doubt be a thoroughly interesting project.
