Brooklyn-based antipop singer/songwriter ESS SEE makes her first full-length debut with excitingly earnest and artful pop in Waiting For The Sky To Fall, out today on all platforms. Written during times of transformation and restlessness for ESS SEE (aka Sarah Cobb), the album is a study on the universally-recognized struggle to find one's place in the world and the longing and excitement that comes along with it. As Cobb states, “I've never been a particularly patient person, and the majority of these songs came about in intense seasons of restlessness, frustration, and anticipation… The anxiety of the unknown. How to find my place in the world as a woman.” Catch ESS SEE at her album release show on August 27th at Bowery Electric.

Long before she was Carole King, chart-topping music legend, she was Carol Klein, Brooklyn girl with passion and chutzpah. She fought her way into the record business as a teenager and, by the time she reached her twenties, had the husband of her dreams and a flourishing career writing hits for the biggest acts in rock 'n' roll.  But it wasn't until her personal life began to crack that she finally managed to find her true voice.
