About Me

SJ Esau is the name used for certain sections of the outpoorings of me. Hi, my name is Sam. With a slightly pained forehead and surrendering arms, I would describe this music as 'experimental pop'. Sometime we are we not I with companions. Lots of things have been recorded. Some of them are good things. I like the knees of females and would one day like to touch one.
