Grammy-Nominated Electronic Pop Duo; Creators of "Hey Mami" & "Coffee"; Founders of Psychic Hotline
Sylvan Esso Biography
Sylvan Esso is an American electronic pop duo based in Durham, North Carolina. The group is a collaboration between singer-songwriter Amelia Meath of the Appalachian indie folk trio Mountain Man and electronic producer Nick Sanborn, who performs as Made of Oak and plays bass with Megafaun. Sylvan Esso blends elements from both members' musical backgrounds, creating electro-pop that combines emotionally resonant lyricism with danceable beats. The duo formed after Sanborn remixed the Mountain Man song "Play It Right," originally written by Meath.
Sylvan Esso's debut single, "Hey Mami," introduced their sound and appeared on their self-titled debut album, which reached No. 39 on the Billboard 200 chart. The album featured singles such as "Hey Mami" and "Coffee," the latter of which the duo performed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, marking their national television debut. Sylvan Esso has performed at major music festivals, including Coachella, Firefly, Eaux Claires, Lollapalooza, and Austin City Limits.
The duo's second studio album, "What Now," released under Loma Vista Recordings, received critical attention for its innovative electronic production and lyrical depth. "What Now" earned a Grammy nomination for Best Dance/Electronic Album. Their third album, "Free Love," also received a Grammy nomination and continued their presence on the Billboard 200. Sylvan Esso has performed on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, CBS This Morning: Saturday, and Full Frontal with Sam Bee, and has surpassed half a billion streams across digital platforms.
Expanding their creative reach, Sylvan Esso launched the experimental podcast "Shaking Out the Numb" with Erica Heilman of Rumble Strip, incorporating found sounds, conversations, and music from "Free Love" to explore the creative process. The duo also established their independent record label, Psychic Hotline, which supports musicians through artist-focused deals and creative marketing. On Psychic Hotline, Sylvan Esso released their fourth studio album, "No Rules Sandy."
Sylvan Esso marked the tenth anniversary of their debut album with a deluxe double-LP edition. With multiple Grammy nominations, a global audience, and ventures in music, podcasting, and independent label management, Sylvan Esso maintains a significant presence in contemporary electronic pop. Their work has been featured in Pitchfork, NPR, and Rolling Stone.
