Watch Sylvan Esso perform new single “PARAD(w/m)E” live, see them at the XPoNential Music Festival
Synthpop duo and all-around pop powerhouses Sylvan Esso released spirited single “PARAD(w/m)E” today, their first new release since 2017’s sophomore LP, What Now. Characterized by a groovable BPM (116, for those counting at home – or out on the dancefloor), crunchy low-end synth hits, and bubbly, percolating synthlines, the duo crafts a fun yet progressive pop track in terms of production. Amelia Meath’s vocals have the power to transport you to brighter warmer days, enticing the listener to “P A R A D with me.”
Performed live for the first time on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the duo enlist Amber Coffman and Wye Oak’s Jenn Wasner for backup vocals. Watch the live performance below.
