Notes from Nowhere, Esmé Patterson's long-awaited 5th full-length album, is OUT NOW on Sometimes River Records. This newest release creates a genre-avoidant musical realm that blooms with honesty and magic. Ever provocative, poignant, polymorphic, and prescient (her apocalypse-themed There Will Come Soft Rains, was released on the first day of Covid19 lockdowns in March 2020), Patterson’s latest release returns to the (super)natural world, evoking the chill of dead winter, parched-forest lightning, midday moons, and the cicada hum of summer swamps. Esmé’s intense performances arrest her audience in ears-open shared contemplation. Her music churns and crackles until you find yourself frozen, staring into the fire.
was curious what esme was up to, see it was 7 months ago, but i also see she has a show in May. it just makes my day better, she has such a beautiful voice, i hope she keeps on rolling.
This. She is seriously the best songwriter in these modern times. Who is Taylor Swift??? But I also love and appreciate Esme being low key. It wouldn’t be her otherwise. Yet what you just said is so true!
According to my calculations, this Esmé woman, is quite a bright burning light and not only are we blessed to have her music, thoughts, personality, smile, curls, kindness, patience..... let's just say this guy is smitten. : )
listening to it makes you look off into the distance and dream/think a little. About what, who knows, but as I watch the clouds it makes me move with the them.
fell in love with your voice since hearing Francine and been a fan ever since, can't believe i'm just discovering your youtube ! god i should follow up more with artists i love online....Would love to see a music video for bend vs break, that song is like a warm blanket to me...or Mother Nature, makes me love life and appreciate the quiet doom...
