Estère to re-release her debut album with exclusive remixes from Grayson Gilmour & Paddy Fred

Estère along with her trusty companion Lola (MPC) will re-release her debut album digitally on the 6th March with two exclusive remixes by Grayson Gilmour and Paddy Fred.

Her self-titled seven track album, which was initially released as a free download via bandcamp, amassed her 4000 downloads within the first month of release and led to her signing with French tastemaker label No Format on their imprint label Prospect.

In honour of her European release Estère is simultaneously putting out this NZ only itunes digital release featuring two bonus remixes by producers Grayson Gilmour, reworking Patchwork Soldier and up and coming producer Paddy Fred on ‘I Spy’.
