Sylvan Esso -Sylvan Esso is Amelia Randall Meath and Nick Sanborn. A Band. -from Durham, North Carolina -The duo released their eponymous debut album on Partisan Records on May 12, 2014. Sylvan Esso was not meant to be a band. Rather, Amelia Meath had written a song called “Play It Right” and sung it with her trio Mountain Man. She’d met Nick Sanborn, an electronic producer working under the name Made of Oak, in passing on a shared bill in a small club somewhere. She asked him to scramble it, to render her work his way. He did the obligatory remix, but he sensed that there was something more important here than a one-time handoff: Of all the songs Sanborn had ever recast, this was the first time he felt he’d added to the raw material without subtracting from it, as though, across the unseen wires of online file exchange, he’d found his new collaborator without even looking. Meath felt it, too. Schedules aligned. Moves were made. Sylvan Esso became a band. His music syncs seamlessly with Meath’s melodies, so that the respective words and beats become a string of ready-to-play singles. These pop cuts condescend neither to their audience nor their makers. They are sophisticated, but with none of the arrogance that can imply; they are addictive, but with none of the banality that can entail. There is sensuality and sexual depravity, homesickness and wanderlust, nostalgia and immediacy. Sylvan Esso acknowledges that the world is a tumult of complications by giving you a way to sing and dance with those troubles, if not to will them away altogether. Sylvan Esso represents the fulfillment of their fortuitous encounter by, once again, linking parts that too often come stripped of their counterparts. Here, motion comes with melody. Words come with ideas. And above all, pop comes back with candor. Molly Sarlé of Mountain Man Molly Sarlé is from Santa Cruz and lives in Los Angeles. -Mountain Man is an American singing trio of young women (Molly Sarlé/Amelia Meath/Alexandra Sauser-Monnig) described as indie folk rock with a traditional Appalachian-type folk sound. They are notable for earning critical acclaim from numerous music critics. They often sing a cappella, with a "sparse, haunting, hymnal beauty" sometimes accompanied by soft acoustic guitar, but with their voices "virtually unadorned", according to Guardian critic Paul Lester. The group toured with the vocalist Feist, and New York Times music reviewer Ben Ratliff described their performance as creating shifting harmonies which worked perfectly to complement Feist's vocal delivery. -Amelia Meath who was in Mountain Man as well is now Sylvan Esso. Molly Sarlé (and also Alexandra Sauser-Monnig, the third member of Mountain Man) contribute vocals to Sylvan Esso. -----------Mountain Man video: |
