Sylvan Esso Release Live At Electric Lady
Sylvan Esso have released Live At Electric Lady, The duo, featuring Amelia Meath and Nick Sanborn new album is now out on via streaming services. The EP features sweeping new renditions of five favorites from the band’s No Rules Sandy LP, as well as a cover of Low’s “Will The Night.” Across the six-song collection, Sylvan Esso are joined by Attacca Quartet, performing special string arrangements from Gabriel Kahane, as well as a close circle of musicians from the band’s vast and collaborative community: longtime friend Jenn Wasner (Bon Iver, Flock of Dimes, Wye Oak), drummers TJ Maiani (Neneh Cherry, Weyes Blood) and Joe Westerlund (Megafaun, Califone), and guitarist Mason Stoops.
“Both Amelia and I are huge fans of Low and were so sad to hear about Mimi passing,” says Sylvan Esso’s Nick Sanborn. “I can still remember hearing The Curtain Hits The Cast for the first time as a teenager and being immediately struck by ‘Anon’ – they were haunting and visceral in a way I hadn’t ever heard before, and I’m still listening to them all these years later. So this past January, when we were putting the setlist together for the Electric Lady session, I knew we were going to have the Attacca Quartet joining us and immediately thought of covering ‘Will The Night’ as a tribute to Mimi. It’s one of my all time favorites of their songs, beautiful and simple and timeless, a light in the darkness.”
Next month, Meath and Sanborn will perform the music on their biggest headline tour to date. In addition to appearances at Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Mad Cool and other festivals here and abroad, the run of more than 50 shows will bring the band to landmark venues such as NYC’s Forest Hills Stadium, LA’s Greek Theatre, and their first-ever performance at Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre. The tour features support from GRRL, Dehd, Indigo De Souza, Goth Babe and Charlotte Adigéry & Bolis Pupul.
