Originally formed in 2010 and reformed in 2016, Esprit D'Air is a Japanese alternative/electronic metal band based in London, UK. At the centre of the band is The Sisters of Mercy guitarist, Kai. The band features consistent session/touring members Jan-Vincent Velazco (Pendragon) on drums, Takeshi (ex-Mergingmoon) on bass and Yusuke on guitar.
The band are not seeking a major record label, but instead follow a strong DIY ethos and value self-sufficiency. Consequently, they record, mix and master their own releases in their own home recording studio.
Esprit D'Air stands out as a completely independent act, with Kai handling everything from production to promotion without a record label, or management. Fueled by passion and fan support, the band stays true to their vision while delivering world-class music and selling out international shows.
To date, the band has released three studio albums: 'Constellations' (2017), 'Oceans' (2022) and 'Seasons' (2024). They are set to release their fourth, 'Aeons,' in late 2025.
