Canadian post-rock band on Salon IKSV stage

Canadian experimental post-rock band Esmerine is playing a gig at Salon İKSV on May 5. The concert starts at 9:30 p.m. and tickets are available at Biletix booths. Esmerine released two critically-acclaimed albums of modern chamber music, “If Only a Sweet Surrender to the Nights to Come Be True” in 2003 and “Aurora” in 2005.

Their latest album “La Lechuza” was released in 2010. “La Lechuza” was predominantly recorded by Patrick Watson at his Montreal loft, and Watson sings on three of the album’s tracks. Other musical guests include Sarah Neufeld from Arcade Fire, Colin Stetson, Mishka Stein and Robbie Kuster. Mark Lawson of Arcade Fire and Unicorns mixed the bulk of the album’s tracks.
