Esper Scout – Compass

| Esper Scout - Compass |
Release Date: Out Now
Leeds dames Esper Scout are back
with what might just be their most powerful tune to date and that’s something
we should all get excited about. ‘Compass’ has an assertive rumble about it
that hits you in the rib cage with immediacy and urgency which is particularly
odd as I’m listening to this on my headphones. There’s also a sadness and ‘bottom
of the barrel’ vibe as the guitars go all Maccabees on us and the vocals echo
in the distance, bouncing off the walls of some stone chamber as the quartet
prepare for some kind of fight. It’s the rhythm section that is the real tour
de force here though as the pure drums and growling, thunderous bass make this
so powerful and truly encapsulating. I’ve struggled for comparisons here and I
love it when that happens so I’m just going to leave it at that and be happy
that Esper Scout have massively delivered on the promise I’ve always heard in
their music. This is a big, big tune.
