British artist J. Blacker, mastermind of ESA, is proud to announce that its new album, entitled Sounds for Your Happiness, will be released on July 5th via Negative Gain Productions. The new effort, follow-up to Designer Carnage (2022), will feature 12 tracks for over 73 minutes for a musical experience made of industrial, EBM, power noise, and dark electronica.
Two singles have already been released from Sounds for Your Happiness during 2024. Those being the mid-paced Dark Techno power of Join Our Hands and the Industrial Metal Gabber insanity of Rats Come Together - watch them below!

Sounds for Your Happiness is yet another milestone in the creative universe of ESA. Striking and thought provoking visuals, enormous electronics and powerful messages is always expected from an ESA release…
Sounds for Your Happiness does not disappoint with any of these ingredients.
With this album, J Blacker paints ESA as a sinister technology company, with the musical structures from the album, utilised to create an emotional response from its listeners, which is transferred as energy to run the simulation we all live in. Its a nod to shows and films such as Severance and Soylent Green.
Musically, Sounds for Your Happiness is a bleak and furious slab of electronic meat. A journey of EBM / Industrial / Black Metal / Dark Ambient / Power Noise / Punk / Techno and Goa, the album is as ambitious as it is exhilarating and genres merge seamlessly into an energetic free-fall of sonic chaos.
Get plugged in and let the happiness wash over you.

”Jamie Blacker has a gift to formulate and place seemingly incompatible sounds within his aggressive arrangements… and vice versa, associating brutality and chaos to sounds that have no connection or association with either. Such a dichotomy is an art form. and ESA has painted a masterpiece with Designer Carnage”- ReGen Magazine
”Every single sound has to be uniformly ordered in it’s chaos to bring about the sounds that have made Jamie the KING of electronic music” - Electrovox
‘’The single Rats Come Together is a brutal, bone-crushing ride, dripping with dirty, destructive grooves that slam together metal, industrial, and techno-like steel doors in a storm. It’s harsh and relentless, a gut-punch of grinding beats and corrosive rhythms, twisting and churning with the manic energy of NIN on a caffeine binge” - Post-Punk.com
