about

With their new album, the two musicians expand the possibilities of the bass and drum tandem. Rock - peppered with a pinch of unexpected sounds and their influences from improvised music - results in a musical manifesto carried by lyrics in German, English and French. Socially critical, they deal with racism ("Braun"), female lust ("Smell Of Female" / "Wet"), the call for more diversity ("Respect my Speck"), and our performance-obsessed society ("Pressés" / "DaDaDa") among other things. Despite the seriousness of the lyrics, humour is not forgotten and the dance floor is never far away: "She's somewhere" and "Pique Dame Remix" invite you to dance the night away.

Ester Poly are Martina Berther (electric bass, voc, Zurich) and Béatrice Graf (drums, voc, Geneva). Since 2013, the two musicians have been expanding the possibilities of the bass - drum - tandem. Rock, peppered with a pinch of the unexpected. Their influences come from improvised music and jazz. The mix results in a freshly squeezed Ester Poly juice with a bitter socially critical aftertaste.
