ESA to call it quits

In an interview with DarkTwinCities.com Jamie Blacker of ESA (Electronic Substance Abuse) has announced the end of his project. Here's what Blacker had to say when asked if his next album would indeed be the last ESA record: "The next album will be a double album which I hope to use as a platform to exorcise everything I could want or hope to achieve with ESA. I feel that I would like to indulge in other genres and art forms after this. I do not want to carry on if I do not have fresh ideas and concepts and I feel that this may prove fraudulent if I keep it going. I have no desire to be 47 yrs old and still banging out dark electronic music."

And he adds: "I want to have released the fourth ESA album and the remix album we spoke about earlier in this interview. I would like to play a few more shows and that's it really. I no longer have any goals related to ESA which aren't already within grasp. This is probably the true reason why I do not intend to carry it on into the next decade but we will see."

The Tympanik Audio signed act just released "The Sea & The Silence" album.
