What a beautiful tune. Beautiful video.

Well done.

Just stumbled across this song via Instagram there. Absolutely beautiful stuff! Such a perfect example of “less is more”. Beautiful performance and production. Was a fan well before this release but everything I’ve heard from this album so far has really blown me away. Well done to you and Amelia, you’ve created something very special.

Wow. Just… Wow.

I gotta confess, I slept on y’all for a long time, and only started listening after your second LP when a friend/client had some of your tunes as production references. I’m fully in it now, though- Every single from this album has been amazing.

I gotta ask - Is there an intentional visual theme going w/ Amelia’s shoes in these videos, or am I just imagining things? Rooftop Dancing aside, it seems like they feature heavily in shots at the more ‘critical’ sections of tunes.

The juxtaposition of the FM radio audio and the crisp hi-res video is a wonderful combo. The song & lyrics are great, too.

I guess you’re thinking that not many people will be listening to your FM radio’d mix over an FM radio?

Happy Release Day! @madeofoak

This has been something to look forward to in an otherwise garbage timeline.

Thanks and congrats!

Second that. Late to the party and discovering Sylvan Esso during lockdown definitely brought a little light to my year. The new album is a delight!

Just coming back to say this album is fantastic and just what I (any seemingly many others) needed in some rough times.

Listening to “Train” right now, this is sooo good.

Makes me want to stop whatever I’m doing and go make some music.

Not to out myself as a millennial but uh, this album fucks. 10/10 most tracks are going on my workout+dance playlists.

I’m hearing so many things in these tunes, and have no idea if I’m reaching. It’s giving Son Lux, Rationale, Kelly Lee Owens, Caroline Polachek, etc etc

thanks so much everyone, putting out a record right now is so weird and your kind words are very, very appreciated.

we had a ‘opening night’ party last night, which included a bunch of cool contributions from friends (dance by emma portner, 3 song SE performance, dj set by merrill garbus, and music vid commentaries), but also opened with an improvised modular set i recorded using the stems from the record. mostly morphagenes sequenced by kria into a bam verb, + tr8s, dfam & matriarch. it was so fun, thinking of exploring this configuration more in depth.

you can still watch it until sometime on the evening of 9/26 if you’re interested:

again, thanks so much.

Whoa whoa whoa. Incredible! This sounds sounds super rad and is extremely my jams. Would very much dig a quick rundown if that isn’t a pain and doesn’t pull energy away from the release! Especially the Kria/MG combo.

Congrats to you guys!
