Esmerine surprise release their seventh album

Everything Was Forever Until It Was No More is available to stream now with physical editions landing in August.

Longstanding Montréal fixtures Esmerine have released a new album entitled Everything Was Forever Until It Was No More.

Released on the day of its announcement, the album marks the Canadian group’s first new music in five years and seventh full-length project overall.

An accompanying press release explains

“Everything Was Forever Until It Was No More grapples with the existential tensions between atmosphere and airlessness, seclusion and claustrophobia, forbearance and coalescence. In many ways it is one of Esmerine’s most restrained records; instrumental densities ebb and flow, melding into each other with gauzy timbral warmth, sometimes tracing fleeting tendrils outwards, but always rotating around a saturnine gravitational force. Everything Was Forever Until It Was No More is like a dark forest lit by a closely-orbiting opalescent planet; it could be the alternate score to Von Trier’s Melancholia or Cormac McCarthy’s The Road.”

Everything Was Forever Until It Was No More is out now digitally via Constellation Records. Pre-order a forthcoming vinyl edition of the album here.
