Sylvan Esso w/ Helado Negro
Neighborhood Theatre
Jan. 16, 2015
The band, which hails from Durham, North Carolina, is comprised of two members - songstress Amelia Meath and producer/keyboardist Nick Sanborn. The duo filled the room with energy during its short and sweet set.
They saved their slowest, a swaying, lighter-friendly song, “Come Down” for an encore. The duo, who put on a solid performance, with captivating beats and synth soundscapes, also presented a personable vibe between songs.
They messed up on two songs during the set, but rolled through it, admitting to their mistakes and starting over. The band kept a cool and calm attitude that resonates in the music they play.
All-in-all, it was Sylvan Esso who left a lasting impression. I’d bet the band plays an even bigger venue in the Q.C. in the future. Keep them on your radar and get your tickets quickly the next time they schedule a date in town.
