Upcoming Album of the Week (Ending September 10)

We're all moved into the new house and have our entertainment room set up! That means I can now listen to my records on probably the best sound system I've ever had direct access to. It also means I'm back to buying new music. There are a lot of exciting on my shopping list, head over to my Upcoming Releases page to check them out!

This week, Sylvan Esso announced a new single, "Radio."

Sylvan Esso, made up of Amelia Meath of Mountain Man and Nick Sanborn of Megafaun and Made of Oak, joined forces three years ago and released one of my favorite albums of 2014. Though they both came from folk-leaning bands, their music together has been anything but. It combines the electronic music that Nick employs as Made of Oak with Amelia's versatile vocals.

A follow-up album to Sylvan Esso is anticipated, though nothing's been announced yet. Hopefully, this track is a prelude to that sophomore record!

The 12" single is set to be released on November 18.
