Sylvan Esso Drop New Song “Sunburn”: Stream

The post Sylvan Esso Drop New Song “Sunburn”: Stream appeared first on Consequence.

Sylvan Esso have returned with “Sunburn,” their first new song in two years. Listen to the single below.

A brief, minimalist electronic song, “Sunburn” pulses with an ominous synth line as singer Amelia Meath sings about the joy — and consequences — of enjoying too much of a good thing. In a statement, Meath and bandmate Nick Sanborn offered a poem further illustrating the meaning of “Sunburn”:

“Eating candy til you’re sick/ Riding your bike too fast down a hill/ When you’re five years old and don’t want to get out of the water, and by the end you’re shivering and all your fingers are pruney and your lips are turned purple/ An undertow that sneaks up unsuspectingly/ The painful pulsing pink of swollen eyelids leftover after a day lying in the sun/ Plunging forward without time for second-guessing.” 

“Sunburn” comes as the follow-up to 2020’s Free LoveIn February, Sylvan Esso band stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live! to perform that album’s song “Ferris Wheel,” and also announced a run of North American tour dates. Those headlining shows wrap up in June, after which the band will open up for ODESZA. Grab tickets to all of their upcoming shows via Ticketmaster
