Ayse Hassan (ESYA) joins Mute Song—

Mute Song is very pleased to announce the signing of the composer, musician and singer Ayse Hassan.

A co-founder, bass player and co-writer in critically acclaimed British post-punk band Savages, the band were nominated for two Mercury Prize awards, for their debut album ‘Silence Yourself’, and the sophomore release ‘Adore Life’. 

Away from her work with Savages, Ayse co-founded the experimental electronic duo Kite Base (with fellow bassist Kendra Frost); as well as the collaborative project 180db with fellow Savages member Fay Milton.

Ayse is now releasing music solo as Esya, an unsettling, beat-driven, and electronic exploration of alternate personas. Transgressing comfort zones by experimenting with the complex and contradictory ideas that can exist within one person, Esya is an industrial pop existential exploration.
