Electronic Pop Duo Sylvan Esso Is Open to Experimentation on New LP ‘No Rules Sandy’
Less than two years after the release of Free Love LP, Sylvan Esso has returned with its fourth full-length studio album.

The duo — consisting of Nick Sanborn and Amelia Meath — recorded No Rules Sandy in early 2022 in just three weeks while working out of a Los Angeles rental home. Additional recording took place at the duo’s studio in its home state of North Carolina. “Even if we weren’t feeling good, we would just sit down and try to make something,” Meath said. “Pretty much every day that we did that, we got a song that we like...
