Minissali\u2019s work as Erica Eso injects strategies associated with the electronic avant-garde, including microtonal note voicings and advanced synthesis, into ornate compositions shaped in the idiom of art pop and focused on the keyboard as a primary instrument. Since forming in 2015, Erica Eso has shifted through diverse personnel configurations for live performances and their studio recordings released with NNA Tapes and Ramp Local, before settling into a quintet for their Hausu Mountain debut <strong><em>192<\/em><\/strong> (HAUSMO124, 2022).<\/h5>\n<h1><\/h1>\n<h5>For his new album <strong><em>Songs In My Pocket Like Grains Of Sand<\/em><\/strong>, Minissali approached composition as a solo process, honing in on the granular details of his own songwriting and electronic production. Bolstered by the experience gained over the years he spent experimenting in his elaborate self-constructed home studio, Minissali sought to tie his artistic practice holistically into his daily life, cutting away inessentials and focusing inward both in sound and in lived experience. <em><strong>Songs In My Pocket<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>offers us Minissali\u2019s most adventurous songwriting and his most ornate production to date, pushing the Erica Eso project into new realms of complexity characterized by complete freedom in electronic arrangement. What once could have been called \u201cDIY bedroom pop\u201d now showcases Minissali\u2019s time-earned studio expertise, brought to life by what he describes as \u201ca much better (but still limited) understanding of just how expansive a studio-based process can be.\u201d<\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ANNOUNCING: Erica Eso Songs In My Pocket Like Grains Of Sand coming out on May 27 on CD, tape, and digitally!
