Esthesis is a French progressive & art rock project. Formed and led by multi-instrumentalist Aurélien Goude (music & lyrics, keyboards, vocals...), the line up also includes Marc Anguill (bass guitar), Arnaud Nicolau (drums), Baptiste Desmares (lead guitar) and Mathilde Collet (backing vocals).

 

Esthesis music is characterized by many influences (british rock, film score, jazz, ambient & electronic, metal...) and primarily based on emotion and ambiences. After a first sold out EP in 2019 ("Raising Hands"), Esthesis released a debut album in November 2020 ("The Awakening") and won the "best unsigned band 2020" award in Prog.

Esthesis' highly anticipated new album, "Watching Worlds Collide", has been released on CD, digital & streaming in August 2022, on the independent label and music production company Misty Tones. It has been released for the very first time on deluxe limited, numbered & signed vinyl on 19th August 2023.

"Watching Worlds Collide" has been acclaimed by many rock magazines around the world, also including "Album Of The Year" award by Album Rock and Music Waves. Esthesis is currently on tour and played notably at the Poppodium Boerderij as a headliner and at Night Of The Prog Festival (Loreley) with Soen and Leprous.
