In April 2017 Sylvan Esso assembled a live band comprised of their close friends and collaborators – members of Mountain Man, Wye Oak, The Dead Tongues, The Mountain Goats and Megafaun – to arrange and record full-band versions of songs from their new album What Now. The band took this experiment to Echo Mountain Studios, located in the mountains of North Carolina, and cut five songs live in one day. The result, the Echo Mountain Sessions visual EP, is a testament to the New York Times’ declaration that “Sylvan Esso keeps electronic pop human”. These bold re-imaginations from the band’s celebrated second album, What Now, highlight Amelia Meath and Nick Sanborn’s songwriting craft and the boundlessly talented North Carolina musical community from which they hail. Never ones to rest, Amelia Meath and Nick Sanborn continue to push themselves and expand on what Sylvan Esso can be. The Echo Mountain Sessions visual EP is out today, the band has also launched pre-orders for a limited edition vinyl release of the sessions available exclusively at www.sylvanesso.com

What Now was released in April to widespread to critical acclaim. This includes high profile features running from the likes of The New York Times, The Line of Best Fit and The Independent as well as glowing reviews and widespread radio play from the likes of Radio 1, multiple weeks on the 6 Music playlist and a recent session with Lauren Laverne. What Now has already amassed 40 million streams globally, currently averaging 1 million streams per week + 1.5 million monthly listeners on Spotify alone. The album debuted at #3 on the alternative charts, positioning it well within the US Billboard Top 200. What Now has racked up 60,000 albums sold worldwide thus far.
