Tonight we explore some new and old combinations of wintery guitars and sombre strings. A fantastic new album from Godspeed You Black Emperor side project Esmerine; plus Esmerine’ Beckie Foon accompanying Mitchell Akiyama; shoegazer strings from the terribly underrated Pale Saints; and the wonderful debut album from Sydney-based Alpen.
