Monolord/Slower’s Esben Willems has announced his debut solo record, an album that he has contemplated following years of songwriting and conceptual exploration. The album will be released on March 29 through Majestic Mountain Records. It will consist of nine diverse tracks with a flavor of punk-spirited alternative rock.
Willems shares his thoughts:
“I’ve always been fascinated, inspired, and driven by limitations, and I’ve always encouraged others to do what they can with what they have. But I’ve not been very good at following that advice myself, so this album is just that. A collection of misfit song ideas that kept lingering. Songs I eventually felt I wanted to record.”
He adds:
“It’s a reflection on how we all seem trapped in playing the futile game of perpetually trying to display what superhumanly successful and interesting lives we lead. Despite us all being aware of this, we still manically persist.”
