Sylvan Esso have released their own Live At Electric Lady EP, recorded at the famed New York studio. It includes recordings of them performing five tracks from their last album, No Rules Sandy, accompanied by the Attacca Quartet and other friends, including Jenn Wasner, TJ Maiani, Joe Westerlund, and Mason Stoops. They also covered Low’s “Will The Night.”
To mix sports metaphors, H.E.R.’s new song “The Journey,” which will soundtrack ESPN’s broadcasts of the NBA Finals, is a big swing — an old-school, hyper-melodic, live-instrument-driven ballad.
