True, it's a dance, we know the moves The bow, the dip, the woo Though the words are true The state is old news Wrap me in your arms I can't feel it... | See the rest of the song lyrics |

May 20, 2014Sylvan Esso is as cerebral as it is sexy.
-
May 19, 2014Mr. Sanborn’s programming and production ground these songs in a range of textures, borrowing from techno, electro-pop and dubstep. He’s sensitive to the needs of the vocals, and supple with his touch.
-
May 29, 2014The folk elements lend Sylvan Esso a calm, and a daytime splendour, but Sanborn’s dance-oriented production, especially on the more electronic tracks, are set to be perfect 2am jams. This LP is the complete package.
-
Sep 25, 2014Electro quips work alongside Meath's measured soprano, both perfectly scaled and bigger than the sum of their parts.
-
May 16, 2014It’s synthpop for people who like folk, emphasizing the human rather than the robotic.
-
May 15, 2014Sylvan Esso would be an impressive statement for a long-established act, but considering it’s a first step for this duo, there may be no ceiling for an act that can rumble the dancefloor like this.
-
May 28, 2014Sylvan Esso is feel-good music on all fronts, and when it comes time to throw on something at a summer gathering that’ll make people feel slightly hipper than they were when they arrived, Sylvan Esso will be a go-to. But it’ll still feel like I’m living in a beer commercial, someone else's idea of an inclusive, hip summer day.
