Following on from the critical and commercial success of recent singles "Radio" and "Die Young", North Carolina duo Sylvan Esso have released their highly anticipated sophomore album 'What Now' via Loma Vista Recordings (St Vincent, Iggy Pop, Denzel Curry) / Caroline Australia. Already drawing widespread praise from the likes of The New York Times, The Saturday Paper, The Independent, Pitchfork, USA Today and triple j - who recently added single "Die Young" to full rotation - Sylvan Esso's second album, 'What Now', is the sound of a band truly fulfilling the potential and promise of their debut. Everything has evolved - the production is bolder, the vocals are more intense, the melodies are more irresistible, and the songs shine that much brighter. However, it is also a record that was made in 2016 - which means it is inherently grappling with the chaos of a country coming undone, the voices of two people nestled in studios around the country who were bemused by what they looked out and saw.
