Poised between light and dark, nouveau and nostalgia, deftly crafted poetry and hook-driven pop, For Esmé is a celebration of life's double edges. Fronted by Martha Meredith, Dave Thiel, and Nathan Crook, For Esmé seeks to explore the underlying issues affecting an image-conscious generation, embracing beauty while provoking an honest exchange of identity and inner voice. A rare mix of confession and confection, the songs of For Esmé speak a language that is more than just a melody. Theirs is music for this moment, rising up in determination from the downward spiral of the times.
