Perry Blake returns with new project

Having been missing in action for a few years, Sligo’s Perry Blake resurfaces with new synthpop project ESB, AKA Electro Sensitive Behaviour.

Their debut single, ‘Michael Caine’ – no, not the Madness one – is released early next month on Reekus Records.

A delicious slice of retro cool, it reminds Team Hot Press’ more wizened members of Devo, Fad Gadget and The Monochrome Set.

Although flying under the Irish radar, Mr. Blake is a big fromage in France where he’s regularly dented the top 30 and penned tunes for the likes of Françoise Hardy and Emilie Simon.
