Musikbloggen (November 2021 – translated from Swedish)

Esquela's fifth studio album A SIGN FROM GOD came in the summer of 2021. Esquela's is a seven man band (if I counted correctly). The album was recorded entirely remotely over several months which was then composed and produced by Eric ‘Roscoe´ Ambel in his home studio. The pandemic arranged for the band members to meet only at a distance, which also made it impossible for a band photo not to be taken. On vocals we hear JOHN ´CHICO´FINN and BECKA FRAME.

A slightly well-varied album that probably has its reasons in that it was recorded remotely but that it was a good result in the end despite the circumstances. An exciting and captivating dish with a bit of a garage feel. Songs to begin with; Nr2 Oradura Nr3 Rest Of My Life Nr7 First World Problems Nr8 What´s Your Problem?
