Coffee by Sylvan Esso

Seemingly by accident, Mountain Man’s Amelia Meath and Made of Oak’s Nick Sanborn, crossed paths two years ago and inconspicuously conjured alternative two-man-band, Sylvan Esso. Two years on and the pair are quickly attracting positive attention, moreover setting standards for self-titled debut high with charming album single, ‘Coffee’, a vaporous slow-burner spelled with hazy, electro pulses and glitchy pop synths that seamlessly whirl between Meath’s soothing vocals. The refreshingly effortless lyricism works flawlessly amongst Sanborn’s texturised undertones, creating a track simple enough to appreciate in the background, yet nourished with enough layers to set you on the dance floor. Accidental or not, ‘Coffee’ reveals that sooner or later the Durham duo were destined to come together.
