Self Esteem is a band of musicians. The Self Esteem EP was recorded between January and June of 2014 in Brooklyn, New York. Guitarist Deen Anbar had been working as a freelance guitarist and began to write music for his first record in the fall of 2013. Originally conceived as a contemporary jazz project, the writing sessions over the following months resulted in an abundance of rock riffs and ideas, and the first seeds of the Self Esteem EP were planted. The first two songs written, Take Me Away and [narcotics], were recorded in January of 2014 at the Ice Plant in Brooklyn. Recording was then halted by extended touring through the winter and early spring, until production resumed in May, where the remaining songs were recorded at Galuminum Foil studios. The Self Esteem EP was completed in October of 2014 and available online and at Self Esteem performances. A blend of modern songwriting and vintage tones and technique, the album is a celebration of rock and roll, the power of the riff and of the electric guitar.
