Sylvan Esso, “Play It Right”

I am a huge fan of Sylvan Esso — like with Wet, I am always very pleased to hear a gorgeous folksy melody strapped to a pitch-black basement beat — and I got even more excited for their upcoming full-length debut (out on Partisan May 13th) after seeing them play at SXSW; they were one of the few bands that pretty much all my friends went out of their way to check out, and the live vibes are so strong I went twice. Here’s the song they closed with, a live recording from the Wilderness Bureau with Amelia and Nick dancing around like role models.
