{"product_id":"sylvan-esso-sylvan-esso","title":"SYLVAN ESSO","description":"The eponymous debut album from the Durham, North Carolina duo of Amelia Meath and Nick Sanborn, the former a soulful crooner and songwriter best known as a member of Appalachian indie folk trio Mountain Man and the latter a talented electronic producer and bass player for country-psych rockers Megafaun, couldn't sound any further from the duo's flagship projects. Emitting a heady and evocative blend of breezy, late-night laptop-pop and glitchy metropolitan folk, Sylvan Esso's sophisticated confections fall somewhere between the fractured tabletop buzz of Tune-Yards and the breezy indie pop cinematics of Feist. Standout cuts like \"Hey Mami,\" \"H.S.K.T.,\" and \"Coffee\" are a tad dark, a bit sexy, and undeniably hypnotic, but they're also accessible (and surprisingly danceable), due in large part to the duo's Southern locale and Meath's laid-back delivery and penchant for penning coy and colorful lyrics. Elsewhere, the seductive \"Dreamy Bruises\" prowls about on a sleek, arpeggiated Grimes-approved groove, the sparse, gospel-like closer \"Come Down\" skillfully pairs Mountain Man austerity with ambient pop, and the appropriately named \"Wolf\" builds to a howling chorus on the strength of a fat synth line, a spare acoustic guitar, and a flurry of ghostly electronic pings, but it's the aforementioned \"Coffee\" that provides the perfect summation of the duo's strengths. It's both club- and cafe-ready, artsy, cool, and elusive enough to woo the Williamsburg contingency, yet soulful and lightly sweetened with warm Southern honey. ~ James Christopher Monger\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal ID: JITRE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 05\/13\/2014\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Sylvan Esso","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44599753965801,"sku":"GGFX6S-IWLO-00","price":23.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/sylvan-esso-sylvan-esso_a62So.jpg?v=1759446458","url":"https:\/\/www.vibinvinyl.com\/products\/sylvan-esso-sylvan-esso","provider":"Vibin' Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
