ESTERLYN
Mending the Meaning
EP
(Rooster Records)
****
What sets Esterlyn apart from the dozens of other attractive Christian pop/rock outfits is more than its irresistible hooks, musical aptitude and organic persona. Quite simply, it’s the lyrics.
Presenting a creative indie feel without forfeiting tight production and articulate songs, Mending the Meaning replaces electric leanings with acoustic instrumentation. Stripped down guitars, gentle pianos, crisp banjos and textured percussion beautifully hang on every lyric, a perfect complement to Luke Henry Caldwell’s kind vocal.
Mending the Meaning is an innovative spark for the young band and unassumingly elevates Esterlyn to an entirely different plane in the ever-narrowing world of pop/rock music.
