Tracklist: 0:08 - After Dark 2:18 - Empire Of Steel 5:32 - Eyes Closed (Live Edit)

This guy knows what he's talking about... "appreciating what we have in the moment before it's gone" because in the spirals of time, everything is eventually lost... always remember that, and never forget... what is here today, is gone tomorrow, far too often... stay safe

I'm from Russia. your album is the best I've heard from synthwave! and the track Blood Moon is just a MASTERPIECE! I listen to him every day! thanks for the creativity, we are waiting for the new album with the same cool music!

2 years later, I'm still coming back to this. Would love to see a live show.

Literally discovered you during this live stream, and up until your set I just had the stream on in the background waiting for The Midnight's turn. I actually stopped what I was doing and watched your set because I was so absolutely mesmerized! Your work is something else man, and you're absolutely killing it. Cheers for the tunes!

Empire of Steel is one of my favourite songs ever writtennnnnnn. That was so cool to watch played out.

OOOH THAT EYES CLOSED EDIT IS SO COOOOL

This was so cool, I hope you'll be able to tour one day! Keep it up man

This was the first song I listened to from you, I've been listening to you ever since PS: Hope your doing ok during this pandemic, stay safe out there

As a guy from the 80's we've got your back man. We stand strong!

Eyes Closed is my favorite song by you, this live edit was such a treat to hear. I'm so happy to have discovered your music Essenger

I always come back here, eyes close is beautiful 🖤🥺

Seeing this now only makes me appreciate Essenger even more. Great find I made through FiXT

still coming back to this; dude you rock so much

You really blew me away with how you ended Eyes Closed ❤ I can't help but tear up with those beautiful chords. Amazing bro!!

This was hell of a show. I instantly became a fan. Way to go man🙌

Hopefully more people will find your music. Have fun Essenger.

Eyes closed is such a gorgeous song. Amazing as always man

You are a complete Genius !!! Thanks for this fresh air in current music .....

I just discovered you Essenger because of The Midnight twitter, my favorite song was "Eyes Closed" hope that in the future you can make more songs like this, it reminded me for some reason Japanese Ghibli Animation Music Romance Style Nostalgia, you're very talented keep creating music, thanks for sharing and caring.

Fantastic!!!Essenger you have a New styl Electronic music!!

I'm gonna say it, you have to be one of my favorite artists, and I've only now just realized it. I may not usually listen to this genre of music, but holy hell, this is way too good. GJ man, you deserve all the praise EDIT: I think I have also developed a love for retrowave too

This is still my favourite track a year later. So many more on my playlists now. Such talent.

I cant wait until you tour, man. Hearing you live and especially hearing Eyes Closed like this was just amazing. You never disappoint :)

Holy shit bro. Am I ever glad I watched this. Keep it up man!

Just found you via Pylot amongst all the retro waves out there. I instantly subbed. Then I saw this livestream performance and was like: Damn, this guy is something else. Thank you for your music. Cheers from Germany!

Credit where it's due, I've listened to all your music ever since you started. And what really takes the cake is that you read the comments of all your fans since you liked all of them

Eyes closed hit deep damn

Essenger, you are the real deal. Saw Starcadian and a few others in 2019 in Le Petit Bain in Paris, they had a sythwave/retro night. Now I wish you could have played there! You should def contact Starcadian! Maybe you two can tour!

Loved it. First songs I've heard from you, following and spreading the word. Great work!

I'm just now discovering the awesome synthwave scene. Thank you for being a positive embassador, your words hit home.

You were the best show of the night! Love it!

This was so much fun to watch. I really like when artists are just as enjoyable live as in the studio. After all of this is over, if you ever come to Australia, I'd love to see you perform. Thank you for putting this on. Stay safe.

Hey, glad you got on the plus one session I wouldn't have heard of you otherwise. Stellar performance.

Thank you Essenger 🤗

I haven’t got this many goosebumps in a while. the lights, music, and your voice is just so perfect! Almost teared up when you did your song “Eyes Closed”

Discovered your music by accident... ONE OF THE BEST ACCIDENTS EVER 💗!

OMG....where have you been all my life!?! Your sound is so mesmerizing. Cannot stop listening! 💗💗💗

Nice I really enjoyed this.

Excited to see you with Monuments and Sammy Boller in SA! 🔥

Dude, you are incredible. So talented. Been playing your music on repeat for a while now. Keep it up, bro!

Gonna level with you; v disappointed there were no Bionicles. :^) But FR, you rocked it live, and if you're ever in Canada, I'll defo grab a ticket man. :D

OMG!!! I love this songs!!!! 💕💕💕 With empire of steel i started to follow and listen to you :) ^^

Wonderful!

Adore your work sir !

Über-awesome! Truly one of the best in the genre

Really enjoyed this set - will follow

Awesome! Be safe and keep on digi-rocking us dear Essenger :)

💯 Perfection. Very well done!

I need another album here, After Dark is still one of my top albums in the past few years, I need more!

LOVE this. Grateful to The Midnight for introducing me to a new talent!

Amazing work as usual, I'm so glad that I recently found you and I can't wait for what you create in the future.

I really like what you are doing. I've been listening to you daily for months now.

Fantastic performance. Love your crisp articulation, making the lyrics poignant and memorable (reminds me of Owl City in a good way). The soundscapes are very cyberpunk noir, resonating with The Midnight (Nocturnal album in particular), Kavinsky, and Gunship, which should bring you more fans, while at the same time being fresh and unique. Buying After Dark on Bandcamp as a start for sure!

So beautiful, amazing!!!

A stellar performance. Great job! It made my day!

Just found out about you and starting to dive into your music. Amazing stuff man! Keep it up!

Came across your performance in the livestream and gotta admit l really love it. I think it is the best part because of your impressive music mixing so well with the 80s neon color theme. Visual and musical aesthetics! Appreciate lots of effort you put into this livestream. Thank you and stay safe! Definitely will check out your other works.

Incredible, extremely planning and beautiful. I really love your songs.

I love your music so much and I'm just so happy to hear this music live 😭😭

amazing show!

I love everything about this performance

this is beautiful

I cant frikkin believe this was a year ago already

Very Nice!!!

Very polyedric, very creative. 11/10 would feel nostalgia for the 80s' again while listening.

thank you) your music won my heart) from russia with love

Loved your set at Pierre‘s last night!

Please release the live edit of eyes closed, it's so good!

This sounds really really awesome man!

Well I learned about you from this set, definitely following your stuff now. Digging the industrial vibes.

You should definitely release the live edit of Eyes Closed. Can't stop listening to it. Album version is great but the narration makes it even batter.

everything you do is wonderful

this is magic, thx for ur music

You are soooo goood!! Amazing music!

Essenger you are cool guy, thank you for your music 🙏🏻😍

Insanely good

You are SO good! I subscribed immediately! I hope you get inspiration for more great songs. You are talented

Damn! That part where Scandroid had his part usually was very well done. Didn't expected you to sing Klayton's part there. I expected that you'd let a playback of his recording play but I was surprised. Omg this is so good

Just Amazing 👌🏻

You are an immense powerhouse.

This is a dope performance.

OMG! Loved It ❤️

Life song so cool!

I'm in love 😍

OMG You sound just like the studio version... Great job man! I love your music ❤️! Cheers from Mexico 🇲🇽!

please, please tell us that some day you’ll release the full version of Eyes Closed; that was a work of art, pure and simple

This is awesome. Hope you do some live shows when all this craziness is over, I'd love to see you perform in person.

Awesome live set my friend! :)

I got reeeal lucky and stumbled onto a map someone had made for "Empire of Steel" on Beat Saber, and had purchased the album on Bandcamp within like 10 minutes. I am a really big metalhead, so the songs where you throw in some distortion on your vocal notes like in Half-Life or when you include some riffy guitars like the second part of Lost Boys really tickle that part of my brain. Please come to Canada so I can thank you in person!!
