Having weathered a number of lineup changes, hiatuses and a name change, esovae is standing — and sounding — stronger than ever: Years of musical tribulations and triumphs have served to refine the quartet’s songwriting. Led by the vocally striking and visually stunning Marilyn Taylor, the band presents an esoteric tapestry of progressive rock rhythms and lush melodies. Esovae releases the full-length CD E3 at the Bluebird Theater on Saturday, August 31, with Dead Heaven Cowboys and Sad Star Cafe. Eclectic, invigorating and expertly played, E3 suggests that the band once known as Students of Alchemy has finally found the formula for gold.
