For Esmé hail from Toronto, a city perhaps best known for rugged indie rock a la Arts & Crafts.
Defiantly individual, the trio have decided to head in a different, fresh direction. Crisp, minimal wave inspired synth pop, For Esmé have an artful touch on every manouevre.
Working on fresh material, Clash is able to unveil the video for 'YOU'. It's a bold return, with the production amped up into proto-techno levels – little wonder, given that Toronto sits just across the water from Detroit.
Akin to Robyn's more conceptual side of even British newcomers such as Vaults, the group's synth pop abandon is matched to an artful aesthetic.
The video itself has a dream-like, Lynchian quality – check it out below.
