Sylvan Esso (10 Year Anniversary) - Vinyle Noir Et Blanc

Description

The debut self-titled album by Amelia Meath and Nick Sanborn as Sylvan Esso arrived in 2014 at the intersection of pop and experimental. Even now, years later, the record remains an urgent and fitting introduction to a push-and-pull effect that continues to fuel the duo's sound—a well-crafted head that draws you onto the dance floor. A blend of analog and digital, Nick and Amelia were two unexpected puzzle pieces fitting together with a singular ease, producing a ten-track album that is both minimalist and vibrant, with dark ripples spreading beneath the synthetic surface and the crystalline quality of Meath's voice. Today, even as the group continues to evolve and become amorphous, there is still this discussion about what pop can be at its core. This album is just the beginning of that conversation captured on tape. In honor of the album's tenth anniversary, the label Psychic Hotline is releasing a deluxe reissue, featuring unreleased tracks. Including the essential singles "Coffee," "Hey Mami," and "H.S.K.T.," the expanded edition also features remixes by J Rocc, Rick Wade, Helado Negro, Dntel, and many more. 2CD box set.
