Sylvan Esso have released new LP Ow ∞ via their own record label, Psychic Hotline. Produced by Sylvan Esso’s Amelia Meath and Nick Sanborn, and bringing together 12 of their most collaborative, improvisational and experimental songs to date, Ow ∞ marks the longest the band has ever spent writing a record. To celebrate the album’s release, the band have shared a new video for “Sledge,” the track was written in the shadow of Hurricane Helene and the Los Angeles fires, as it channels apocalyptic anxiety into a fierce affirmation of destruction, control and surrender.

The LP’s beginnings kicked off 2022, in the woods of their studio Betty’s in Chapel Hill, NC, with the largest community of musicians Sylvan Esso have ever worked with on an LP. Featuring six different drummers in total, as well as live guitar, bass, keys, vibraphone, woodwinds, Innato, organ, piano and electronics, Meath and Sanborn are joined by Daniel Aged (Frank Ocean, Dijon), BJ Burton (Bon Iver, Charli XCX), Matt Douglas (the Mountain Goats), Glenn Kotche (Wilco), Jake Luppen (Hippo Campus, Samia), TJ Maiani (Weyes Blood, Neneh Cherry), James Mapley-Brittle (GRRL), Buddy Ross (Frank Ocean, Bon Iver), Jenn Wasner (Wye Oak, Flock of Dimes) and Joe Westerlund (Megafaun) throughout the record, filling hard drives with 5-10 songs at a time, some sticking and some not.
