Esmé Patterson – “Shelby Tell Me Everything”
Folk-rock singer-songwriter Esmé Patterson isn’t exactly a folk-rock singer-songwriter anymore. She began explore some synthier, dreamier pastures with some help from fellow Denver indie rockers Tennis on last year’s “Light In Your Window.” And she’s continuing to harvest those fields on the rest her new album There Will Come St Rains, named after a story from Ray Bradbury’s The Martian Chronicles and recorded over two weeks in Tennis’ garage.
Today, Patterson is sharing “Shelby Tell Me Everything,” a classicist dream-pop reverie/earworm that unfolds in a lovestruck daze. It’s a “sweet and innocent gay love song” that “exists in the initial moment attraction, frozen temporarily in the air like a cloud,” Patterson says. “This song ecstatically explores the distance between reality and fantasy, between attraction and first kiss, suspended in innocence like a daydream. The video for the song made by @sadgirlprods imagines a parallel universe with another Esmé, another Shelby, another daydream.”
