Sylvan Esso Releases New Single "Hot Slob" and Announces North American Tour

There’s big, big happenings in the world of Sylvan Esso . The duo are back with a new single called “Hot Slob,” and they’ve also announced a full-band tour for later this year and into next spring.

Last September, the duo of Amelia Meath and Nick Sanborn returned with “WDID,” their first new music in three years, while announcing that they’d also pulled their catalog from Spotify. Now, “Hot Slob” marks only the second release on the pair’s own Psychic Hotline label and sees Sylvan Esso “like you have never heard them before,” according to a press release. Joined by drummer TJ Maiani (Weyes Blood) and Flock of Dimes’ Jenn Wasner on vocals, the song sees Sylvan Esso embrace “the spirit and chaos of living in the glitch, punching upwards with explosive blows and a tongue-in-cheek stride.” Below, check out the corresponding music video, directed by Meath.
