Having released ethereal electronica that would be seminal during the time of dusk, London-based Esther Joy has ventured further into the darker side of sound with her new track ‘Samgel’. Led by fuzzy, shifting synths and hard-hitting drums, the huskiness of the production is balanced with Joy’s haunting style of vocals. The tune is taken from her forthcoming EP Psychic Tears, which is out August 11th.
Regarding ‘Samgel’, Esther Joy wrote:
“Samgel is the name I use for the dark presence I experience and write about a lot in my music. It is a part of me that has overwhelmed me so much in my life and been the root to most of my darkest moments. I named this track after it because as soon as I wrote that first synth line (the big intense one at the beginning), it was like I had found Samgel.”
