The name Erica Eso may sound like some music making beauty, but it’s actually the latest musical brain-child of Weston Minissali, also known as the synth player from Cloud Becomes Your Hand. Erica Eso’s synth-heavy pop melodies are a clear departure from the otherworldly avant-rock sound of Cloud Becomes Your Hand, but Erica Eso’s first singles make it clear that Minissali’s talents as an experimental composer span across genres. As of last week, the first singles from Erica Eso’s upcoming album, "2019," are now available for streaming (below) on SoundCloud and Bandcamp with the full release coming later this year. – Sam o’Hara
