It's easy to see why ESC's first album, the foundation of their titanic legacy, is the most talked about hit record of today. ESC energizes fans and new listeners alike with its dedicated swerve into acoustic textures and artistic restraints. The music is beyond reproach. Made and issued in 2014 after a year in the studio, the original LP marks ESC's rapid progression out of Pop/Rock and Electronic Dance Music into a crushing-new sound of unprecedented dynamic range, embedded with details from Classic Rock, Hip-Hop and Rap, blown open with volcanic improvising. These critically acclaimed songs, overseen by executive producer Jordan Bolch, change music history in a major way. They deepen the telling, with recounting that is lightning fresh and replete with incremental detail. The primary lesson, from the moment you press play: Every Second Counts. None of it is by accident. The tracks, Brand New and Step Inside, recently added to the debut, show how far and fast the interplay and creativity advance onstage. Issued last month, All Day shows off Kevin Donahue's dynamic vocal range and takes influences from R&B sources. The revolutionary raps highlight Jordan Bolch's ripening vocal poise, and in a flawless mix of Cool, the decisive, melodic force of Kevin Donahue's hook and Richie Wallace's drumming are nothing short of magic. Every Second Counts is a masterful union of fun and fortune and a giant step in the songwriting ascent toward Money and Luxury. Prince Charming, an electric emotional run, wakes up the youth of today's dance music crowds, while showcasing Jordan Bolch's vocal range from sophisticated rapper to smooth balladeer. My Friend shows ESC pioneering new territory, and the brilliantly penned First, by Jordan Bolch, feels like a breath of fresh air before the next rush forward.
