Sylvan Esso/ ‘No Rules Sandy’/ Loma Vista Recordings

On August 12th, 2022, Sylvan Esso will release their most fearless and frenetic, intimate and enigmatic album to date: No Rules Sandy. After surprising the audience of Newport Folk Festival just moments ago, with a live performance of the project in its entirety, Amelia Meath and Nick Sanborn have marked the official launch and full embrace of their next, unpredictable chapter. Defined by a mentality of directness and disregard for preconceptions, Meath says that No Rules Sandy "feels like who we actually are. It just feels like us. We're not trying to fit into the mold, just happily being our freak selves."
