ESITU has a vision: that the evolution and advancement of the human spirit can be achieved through the creation and elevation of art. Through the multi-layered complexity and other-worldly beauty of their musical composition, they transform the listener’s experience of music. Intoxicating and hypnotic, the spirit of their stage performance and the enlightening message they deliver to their audience is unique. Established in 2002, ESITU (pronounced eh-SEE-too) exploded onto the Seattle music scene with a musical style that can be described only as something different combined with comforting familiarity. It has been widely stated by fans that you don’t “get” ESITU until the third listen. Their current body of work consists of two full length albums, a three song EP, and a two disc DVD/CD box set. The fruits of their labor are self-evident. Their fan base is world wide. With every live show and musical endeavor it grows in volume and potency. Their extensive and impressive resume of live performances and local shows is unrivalled. From packed clubs full of eager and devoted fans, online communities and interactive forums, and the unparalleled importance of word-of-mouth promotion that only comes from the genuine love and devotion of true fans, ESITU’s stimulating influence has permeated the veins of Seattle’s underground rock scene. Their debut full-length album Psychometry, released in 2004, gave the public its first taste of the professionalism and artistic direction of ESITU. 2006 saw the release of two new works: ESITU: The Last Three EP and a live DVD/CD two disc set entitled ESITU: Live at Studio Seven. It was 2010 that gave birth to ESITU’s most ambitious, elaborate and anticipated artistic creation to date – their second full length album Shadowlight. A third full length album is tentatively slated to be released in December 2011. ESITU is here to elevate art in the public consciousness and support art in all forms. In their minds art is dwindling in the general public’s consciousness – and its salvation is crucial to the continued positive growth of humanity. In an effort to promote art and creativity in the community, ESITU has incorporated local non-musical artists into their live shows. Take note: it’s not just through music that ESITU is spreading artistic vision. ESITU also have always worked hard to challenge the expectations of their listeners. Through relentless toil and tireless promotion, they have labored with the force, passion and dedication required to sanction change. ESITU plays ‘progressive’ rock for a reason. Progress and evolution is essential to survival. Stagnation is death. Every element that encapsulates the essence and integrity of ESITU is fueled by the idea of transformation, progression, inclusiveness and above all – transcendence. Read more on Last.fm.
