LISTEN: Esther Joy – ‘Day 1 (Silipur Leaves Home)’

London-based producer Esther Joy is an intriguing character. Having spent the last year touring with Charli XCX’s band and collaborating with artists like Tourist, she’s re-emerged with her new single ‘Day 1 (Silipur Leaves Home)’. The track is taken from her upcoming concept EP, The Acid Caves Vol 1, set for release on 27th April.

“The Acid Caves is based in a universe in which all planets are connected by an energy system called ‘The Chaos’,” Esther explains about her supernatural-inspired EP.”‘The Chaos’ is the energy that sustains all planets & all life forms. Over the last millennium, all lifebloods (non-humans) developed the ability to physically see and manipulate this energy, leading to huge advancements in better mental health and supernatural power. For humans however, their overpowered ego and transfixion with technology significantly stunted their natural evolution and are now the only life-form unable to see or understand ‘The Chaos’.”

“This story will follow Silipur, a lonely, cynical lifeblood who chooses to abandon her planet illegally for Earth. She is one of many who will try to break through the temporary gate in hope of tasting Earth’s purest energy.” We’re impressed by Esther Joy’s unusual ideas and intense sonic soundscapes.

Listen to ‘Day 1 (Silipur Leaves Home)’ below and follow her on Facebook for more updates.

The Acid Caves Vol 1 is set for release April 27th.

Track Of The Day: The Blow – ‘Afterparty’

If you’re feeling a little sensitive after Friday night’s antics, we recommend listening to the upbeat ‘Afterparty’ by The Blow. It’s an understated “thrust of electro-acoustic punk energy” that’ll have you fixed up and ready to go again in a heartbeat.

Taken from their upcoming album Brand New Abyss, ‘Afterparty’ was written and produced by Khaela Maricich and Melissa Dyne using a production rig the duo painstakingly developed over the past four years. It’s a mothership of patched-together modular synthesizers, ancient samplers and audio production gear.

Brand New Abyss will be released on The Blow’s newly formed WOMANPRODUCER collective, a diverse platform for female, trans and non-binary sonic innovators. WOMANPRODUCER’s conversations, think-tanks and live performances have featured such luminaries as Neko Case, Zola Jesus, Pauline Oliveros, Suzi Analogue, Miho Hatori, Yuka C. Honda, Mirah and Val Inc. We’re loving the work this duo are doing and fully support their project.

Listen to ‘Afterparty’ below, and follow The Blow on Facebook for more updates.
