Esser

Esser, a 23 year old UK native, created an album’s worth of forward-thinking, explosively catchy electronic pop songs in his bedroom. 'Braveface', with no label or marketing behind it, incited the Kaiser Chiefs to bring him on a sold out arena tour as their opening act, motivated Cee-Lo to enlist Esser to do production on his upcoming solo record and it caught the attention of legend Don Letts who recently performed with Esser on stage in London.

Aside from attracting the ears of tastemakers across the world, Esser’s talent as a songwriter is undeniable. With a knife-sharp sense of style, lyrical wit and bombastic production skills, Esser’s approach to pop songwriting comes from a distinctly British standpoint, flush with undercurrents of ska and dubstep. This is some of the catchiest and smartest pop to come out of the UK in a long time.

The first single from 'Braveface', “I Love You”, will is out as a limited edition 300 copy vinyl pressing complete with a handmade letterpressed jacket with a remix by Prince Paul.

"I Love You" will be followed up by an album on Chocolate Industries, which gives Esser’s extraordinary imagination full rein.

Produced by Lexxx (Crystal Castles), sidekick of the A-List mixer Mark ‘Spike’ Stent (U2, Madonna), Esser’s debut album 'Braveface' will include songs of peculiar brilliance. There’s "Headlock", which sounds like an inspired collaboration between Pharrell Williams and Jim Noir, and contains the surprising lyrical plea “Bury me in sand like a knackered stallion”.

'Braveface' is set for release late summer 2009.
