Free Love

Sylvan Esso has produced some of indie pop’s most enduring songs in recent years and just achieved a career milestone by crossing a half billion streams worldwide. Their last album, 2017’s What Now , debuted in the Top 40 of the Billboard 200 and earned the group their first ever Grammy nomination for Best Dance/Electronic album. In a New York Times profile on the band, Jon Pareles noted that Sylvan Esso “keep electronic pop human.” While their celebrated first two albums were born from a delineation in creative roles Amelia the lyrics and melodies, Nick the chords and beats Free Love is Sylvan Esso’s first true “band” record: two voices fused together. The album also represents, by turns, the duo’s hardest driving (“Train,” “Numb”) and most meditative (“Rooftop Dancing,” “Free”) work yet as it unfolds over two distinct sides. It was written, recorded and produced at Sylvan Esso’s own studio, built in the woods in North Carolina after the release of 2017’s GRAMMY nominated What Now.
