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.

Great simple song, just two chords all the way through.
I tried to map out the timing of the chords as accurately as possible, the rhythm gets a
little tricky.
The end bit I'm not 100% on, it could just follow the same chord changes as the rest of
the song.
Try it out, it's up to you.
