Sylvan Esso – “Hey Mami” (Stereogum Premiere)
Sylvan Esso is new project from Mountain Man’s Amelia Meath and Nick Sanborn of Megafaun. Their first single “Hey Mami” is the perfect synthesis of both group’s sound — folksy crooning and layered harmonies from Meath and Sanborn’s crunchy synths that both bounce and stutter. It’s an unexpected sound for a song that ruminates on cat-calling, but the hybrid is enchanting. Check it out below.
“Hey Mami”/”Play It Right” 12″ is out 7/16 via Trekky Records.
