Sylvan Esso: 'Radio' From The Echo Mountain Sessions

NOTE: Each day this week we've be rolling out a series of videos from Sylvan Esso that comprise the duo's upcoming visual EP, Echo Mountain Sessions. Today's installment, the final in the series, is a performance of the song "Radio." You can see the other videos here.

Back in April, right about the time Sylvan Esso was releasing its second album What Now, Amelia Meath and Nick Sanborn got a bunch of their North Carolina friends together in an Asheville studio to record some of the tracks from What Now as a big, live band. Members of Wye Oak, The Mountain Goats, Hiss Golden Messenger, Mountain Man and Megafaun met for a day at Echo Mountain studios, reimagined the songs of Sylvan Esso and captured the whole thing for a visual EP they're calling Echo Mountain Sessions. It's due out July 28.

In this final installment of the Echo Mountain Sessions you can see the group perform "Radio," with guitar and synth sharing staccato lines while the drums take this hit song on a new adventure.

You can also hear a conversation with Nick Sanborn and Amelia Meath about the Echo Mountain Sessions here.

You can watch all five videos from this wonderful series here.
