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]
Bb5 F5
...A little narcotic warm on me
F5 Ab5 Eb5 Eb
What will I do without the weight of you now
Bb5 F5
...Funeral singers wail
F5 Ab5 Eb5 Eb
Charity fails whose child are you now the lighthouse keeper
Bb5
Grazed the lip spread like a fog
F5
Stood in the weather and prayed for a push
Ab5 Eb5 Eb
But doesn't take the jump again tonight
[Verse]
Bb5
The book is aching for the tree
F5
Return, return, return to me
Ab5
All my friends, all my friends
Eb5 Eb
All are my friends are weeds and rain
Bb5
All my friends are half-gone birds
F5
Are magnets all my friends are words
Ab5 Eb5
All my friends are funeral singers
Eb5
Funeral singers, funeral singers
Bb5 F5 Ab5 Eb5 Eb
Wailing

A spark is aching for the light
