Edit history

Inspired by a collective love of genre-blending, and a commitment to live instrumentation and technical discipline, Esther Stephens & The Means have been described as; “a refreshingly seamless fusion of soul, funk, pop, jazz, psychedelia; basically just a beautiful celebration of beats, rhymes, & life.” - Dove Schwenke, Doves Diary. Their self-titled debut album presents an anthology of modern torch-songs, neo-soul ballads and beat-heavy trip-hop tracks reflecting on love, relationships lost and won, and the 20-something search for significance and identity. The album continues the band’s creative partnership with NYC Producer Aaron Nevezie, noted for his work with Danger Mouse, tUnE-yArDs and The Black Keys, and features appearances from MC Hone Be Good (The Sidesteps Quintet), RnB vocalist Matt Nanai, and handpicked guest instrumentalists. The band has been building critical momentum on the music scene in the lead up to their album release. Their music video for ‘Light In You’
