    There is a lack of art and creativity with the redundancy and repetition. Sad to have to hear this on our airwaves when there is so much more quality to behold by the ears.

    This album is great, the music is fantastic, i've been listening to them since 2014 and i don't think i will stop anytime soon. Sylvan Esso just began their carrer and i'm looking forward on the next thing they launch.

    Electro quips work alongside Meath's measured soprano, both perfectly scaled and bigger than the sum of their parts.

    There is also a certain playfulness on Sylvan Esso that gives the record its undeniable charm. [Sep/Oct 2014, p.106]

    Tropical, African. Soul, blues. R & B, simplicity. Sylvan Esso blends it all and makes preconceived notions of electronic-driven music parallels to unintelligent dubstep fade away.
