Sylvan Esso performs “Die Young“ live at Indie88 in the Collective Arts Black Box.
The indie-pop duo of vocalist Amelia Meath and producer Nick Sanborn formed after Meath had just returned from a long tour with Feist, and enlisted the talents of Nick Sanborn to produce a track around a vocal recording she had made. They recorded their first album in Nick’s apartment bedroom and quickly discovered a seamless collaborative relationship. They released their first album in 2014, and this year followed-up with What Now.
