Big Leap, No Faith, Small Chancer / Applesauce

For Esme and Emerson, kindness and sincerity are the core of everything. Growing up together in their Suffolk family home, the pair began writing songs during Emerson's final year at university. They quickly realized how well their creative ideas aligned, finding comfort in their shared musical brain.

Together, they discovered a sense of joy reached through their combined creativity and vulnerability. Released earlier in 2024, their first music for Communion Records, Big Leap, No Faith, Small Chancer, established Esme Emerson as one of this year's most exciting and assured breakthrough artists. The album's explorative balance of gentle melodies and electronic elements is comparable to the likes of Big Thief and Slow Pulp.

It won key tastemaker support from BBC Radio 1, BBC Introducing, The Face, Dazed, Rolling Stone UK, and many more. Their rapidly sold-out debut London headline show and full UK support tour with The Japanese House helped in growing their dedicated fanbase from the road.
