*****
Lord Esme are a four-piece Sydney pop band making a name for themselves with their eclectic sound and playful approach to music. Mixing pop, rock, and folk influences, their music is filled with humour, heart, and a love of shandies and cardigans. Live shows feature everything from indie ballads to energetic rockers, including saxophone solos that are considered by many to be sax crimes.
The new Lord Esme album, A Nice Sit Down, is out now on Half A Cow Records and will be available on the streaming services on Friday 2nd February. Lord Esme has been compared to X-Ray Spex, Look Blue, Go Purple, and They Might Be Giants.
– “A truly impressive debut and a new darling for jangly twee-pop fans.” – Jangle Pop Hub
– “The album is a charming jangle-pop instant-classic” – 2SER (Album of the week review)
– “Jangly and sweet in all the right places.” – 4ZZZ (Album of the Week review)
A Nice Sit Down will be launched on Friday April 12 at the Trocadero Room in Enmore, Sydney.
Lord Esme are finally launching their debut album, A Nice Sit Down, and joining them are good buddies Winterfox (launching their debut album, Cost You Nothing), and Library Siesta. Plus some other surprise friends to be announced (or you might just have to show up to find out).

ALBUM OF THE WEEK (29th Jan 2024)
The Feature Album on 2SER this week comes from jangle pop quartet Lord Esme, with their wonderfully understated debut A Nice Sit Down, out now on Half A Cow Records. Danny gave vocalist and keyboardist Sally a breakfast wake up call to get the low down on scone rock, cardigan pop and home-recording.
