Esbe - Blow the Wind Southerly (2023) [gnodde]
A London-based graduate of the Royal Academy of Music, Esbe follows in the footsteps of Katy Rose Bennett with Blow The Wind Southerly, a wholly a cappella classical folk album featuring her voice treated to layered harmonies, multi-tracked as choral groupings or used as a sampled instrument. Not just vocally ambitious and experimental the choice of material is also adventurous being a collection of often unexpected reinterpretations from the folk canon.
Esoteric, atmospheric and hypnotic, Blow The Wind Southerly is a beguiling, intoxicating piece of work.
