shot in slow-mo, the intriguing, fitting video for the trance-pop “Coffee” is combination house party, couples dance class.

based in Durham, NC, Sylvan Esso is singer Amelia Meath and electronic producer Nick Sanborn. Together they create engulfing, trippy, unusual, trance-pop songs. Meath’s unique vocals combined with daring arrangements make the duo a stand-out. Folky, futuristic, old-fashioned, strange, comforting, jolting and hypnotic. It’s all that.
