Sylvan Esso releases new album Ow &∞ and gears up for upcoming event

Sylvan Esso – the electronic‑pop duo of Amelia Meath and Nick Sanborn – announced they will attend the upcoming Frutiger Aero Renfaire, a gathering that blends music, art and retro‑futurist culture. The appearance follows the release of their latest album, Ow &∞, which dropped on Friday and marks the most pronounced stylistic shift in the pair’s catalog to date. The group’s participation in the event was confirmed through a statement released by their publicist, noting that the duo will perform a set featuring selections from the new record alongside earlier material.

Since their debut in 2014 with the self‑titled album and the single “Hey Mami,” Sylvan Esso has issued a series of critically acclaimed releases, including the texturally sparse Free Love (2020) and the rhythm‑driven, glitch‑inflected No Rules Sandy (2022). Their evolving sound has consistently retained the distinctive blend of melodic songwriting and electronic production that defines their work. Ow &∞ expands this foundation with bolder arrangements and experimental tones, signaling a continued commitment to artistic reinvention. The Verge’s full coverage provides additional insight into the album’s composition and the duo’s upcoming plans.
