Even now, years later, the LP remains an \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eurgent and fitting introduction to a push-and-pull that would \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ego on to inform the duo's sound - a thoughtful headiness \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethat also wants you to get out on the dance floor. A blend of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eanalog and digital, Meath and Sanborn were two \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eunexpected puzzle pieces fitting together with singular \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eease, producing a ten-track LP that was both minimalist and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eshimmering, with dark undulations rippling beneath the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003esynthy-surface and crystalline quality of Meath's voice. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBefore all of the international touring and festival headlining \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand critical acclaim and Grammy nominations, Sylvan Esso \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewas just a shot-in-the dark of musical chemistry gone right. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe original album bio for the self-titled presciently sets the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003estage for the thesis that has gone on to guide Meath and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSanborn's writing since then: \"a collection of vivid \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eaddictions concerning suffering and love, darkness and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003edeliverance\" arriving as \"a necessary pop balm, an album \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003estuffed with songs that don't suffer the longstanding \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ecomplications of that term.\" And so, even as the band \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003econtinues to evolve and becomes amorphous, there's still \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethat argument about what pop can be at it's core. This is just \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethe beginning of that conversation captured on tape. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn honor of the record's ten year anniversary, North \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCarolina-based indie label Psychic Hotline will release a \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003edeluxe reissue, complete with previously unreleased \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ematerial.
