Editorial Reviews

ESG's 1983 debut record 'Come Away With ESG' is reissued and available on Fire. Brooklyn, NY. Fresh off their well received debut EP the Scroggins girls, along with neighbourhood friend Tito Libran, strike out to fully capture the potent brew that has emerged in their live show. Named one of the Top 100 Albums of the 80's by Pitchfork. Liner notes feature an exclusive interview with Renee Scroggins and artwork is designed by John Foster. Available as originally intended with the same track listing as the debut LP. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

Maybe it just hasn't aged well? Nothing to make me flee the room, but nothing that says "love me", at least not to these ears.

Surprised no one has reviewed this album yet because it is smokin'. I'm not a popular-music historian so I'll spare the attempt at discussing a musical version of the Origin of Species; everything is derivative so why bother. So since everything is derivative, it is helpful to discuss when something really interesting breaks through. Of course, I thought Luscious Jackson was interesting when I first heard it. And then I heard ESG for the first time -- yes, I'm from the midwest, whattya want me to do about it?
It begs the question why it takes so long to be exposed to foundational popular music, but when you find something for yourself for the first time it doesn't matter how long it took, you're just glad to have discovered it. Is this album that good? Maybe, judge for yourself. But it is pretty good, and if you have never heard ESG before, it's better than pretty good.
