Sylvan Esso will release their new album No Rules Sandy on 12th August 2022 via Loma Vista Recordings. This weekend they surprised the audience at the Newport Folk Festival in the US, with a live performance of the project in its entirety. Amelia Meath and Nick Sanborn have marked the official launch stating that No Rules Sandy “feels like who we actually are. It just feels like us. We’re not trying to fit into the mold, just happily being our freak selves.”
They also share new single ‘Didn’t Care’, which traces the emotional journey from a humble meeting to life-changing love, and follows recent singles ‘Sunburn’ and ‘Your Reality’.
Meath and Sanborn have described the dynamic of Sylvan Esso as an argument between them, her irresistible hooks pushing and pulling against his adventurous, sometimes unsettling synths. The album No Rules Sandy is a complete merge, with pop and electronic music fusing into something new that constantly builds on itself. Meath further expands saying:
“We went back to the classic formula, which is us trying to impress the other one.”
“I want everything to feel like something you’ve heard before, but presented in a way you’ve never heard.”
No Rules Sandy is set for release on 12 August via Loma Vista Recordings, and can be pre-ordered here.
