ESTERE ‘Patchwork Soldier (GRAYSON GILMOUR remix)’
Written by Admin on February 9, 2015
Estère along with her trusty companion Lola (MPC) will re-release her debut album digitally on the 6th March with 2 exclusive remixes by Grayson Gilmour & Paddy Fred. Her self-titled seven track album, which was initially released as a free download via bandcamp, amassed her 4000 downloads within the first month of release and led to her signing with French tastemaker label No Format on their imprint label Prospect.
In honour of her European release Estère is simultaneously putting out this NZ only iTunes digital release featuring two bonus remixes by producers Grayson Gilmour, reworking Patchwork Solider and up and coming producer Paddy Fred on ‘I Spy’.
“Basically, I decided to construct an entirely new song around Estère’s vocals, playing with all kinds of arrangements before hitting this one, it’s a strange mix of influences which crosses a few borders. Enjoy!” says Grayson of the remix.
Album pre-orders are available now with an instant free download of her single I Spy – pre-order here : http://bit.ly/1DyHGAd
