GoKawiilSylvan Esso release new album Ow ∞, embrace turn-of-the-century breakbeat sound
Electro-pop duo Sylvan Esso, made up of Amelia Meath and Nick Sanborn, dropped their latest record Ow ∞ this past Friday. The album marks a stylistic shift toward distorted guitars and breakbeats reminiscent of early-2000s acts like Soul Coughing and Blur, while still retaining some of the electronic production the band is known for. The duo also took part in a weekly questionnaire, discussing their reliance on laptops and frustrations with smartphones.
