Esthesis is a progressive & art rock band formed and led by French multi-instrumentalist Aurélien Goude (music, lyrics, keyboards, vocals, guitars...). The line up is composed of three other musicians : Baptiste Desmares (lead guitar), Marc Anguill (bass) and Arnaud Nicolau (drums).

 

Esthesis music is characterized by many influences (british rock, film score, jazz, ambient, metal, electronic music...) and primarily based on emotion and ambiences. After a first sold out EP in 2019 ("Raising Hands"), Esthesis released a debut album in 2020 ("The Awakening") and has been acclaimed by many rock magazines around the world. Esthesis won the Prog Magazine Reader's Poll ("best unsigned band 2020").

 

The highly anticipated new Esthesis album, "Watching Worlds Collide", has been released on 19th August 2022 on the independent label and music production company Misty Tones. The album is now available on Bandcamp in two CD editions (including a red deluxe limited and numbered CD edition with bonus), digital and streaming.

 

Esthesis is currently on tour and will notably play at the Night Of The Prog Festival in July 2023.
