Montreal outfit Esmerine<\/a>, who are currently on an European tour, are offering a digital single, ‘Front End Loader’, and it comes backed with b-side ‘Learning to Crawl’.<\/p>\n

‘Front End Loader’ features guest Colin Stetson<\/a> on horns and it was recorded and mixed by Mark Lawson (Arcade Fire). The track was recorded during the sessions for Esmerine’s third album La Lechuza<\/em>, released last year via Constellation Records<\/a>.
\nThe band thought the track “did not fit the arc of the album at the time”. It’s great news they’ve decided to make this gem available now.<\/p>\n

B-side ‘Learning To Crawl’ is one of the two songs composed by Esmerine, under the leadership of percussionist Bruce Cawdron, as a commission for “Aarti”, a recent Indian modern dance piece by Sonia St-Michel.<\/p>\n

Both tracks are free to grab, check them out below.<\/p>\n
