L'esprit is the fourth album by In the Nursery, released in 1990 through Wax Trax! Records.
Mike Shea at Alternative Press remarked that with L'esprit the band successfully improved on the soundtrack-oriented approach of their previous album, Köda , and that "never before has music been able to move me to tears and rip up bad childhood memories." [2]
