Biography:
Sylvan Esso is a Durham, NC, USA duo of vocalist Amelia Meath and electronic musician Nick Sanborn. Their début was the double A-side 12" Hey Mami / Play It Right (16 Jul 2013), featuring a capella and instrumental versions of each song.
Meath’s powerful voice is front and center, unjoined by fellow harmonizers as it is in her folk group, Mountain Man. Sanborn, who plays bass in the genre-destroying Megafaun, creates intricate, pulsing grooves for Meath’s voice to inhabit.

[Verse 1]
C Em7/D
We come to grips with our wrists, we come to sound with our mouth
Am7
We sing of what we think we know, mother, father, skin and flaws
C Em7/D
and we move just like the birds, moving amidst the other birds
Am7
and we move just like the fish, rolling away from larger
[Pre-chorus]
C Em7/D
and I know I'm protecting the light of lichen, but oh you look like a morning star,
Am7
to see who we are, oooooo
C Em7/D
and I know you're protecting the light of lichen, but oh you look like a morning star,
Am7
just see who we are, oooooo
[Chorus]
Am F6
You look good in the west, see how you clap those hands
G6 F6
You look good in the south, see how you use your mouth
Am F6
You look good in the east, all elbows and knees
G6 Dm
To the honey dipper, to the sound shifter

C Em7/D
See that moonrise in the rear view, just like you had wanted it to
Am7
Temperature drops, the hot tart cools, ready oh the radio calling to you
C Em7/D
Right out loud she said it, for crying out loud they meant it
Am7
Sing that song like i know you can, work your jaw like a blind man
Call like call like you own the land throw up your hands, make demands
[Chorus]
Am F6
You look good in the west, see how you clap those hands
G6 F6
You look good in the south, see how you use your mouth
Am F6
You look good in the east, all elbows and knees
G6 F6
To the honey dipper, to the sound shifter
Am F6
You look good in the north, whip your hair back and forth
G6 F6
You look good in the east, door, the wall, move your feet
Am F6
You look good in the south, make your makers proud
G6 Dm
You look good in the west, you look good in a dress
