Sylvan Esso announces New Orleans concert

Indie pop duo Sylvan Esso will perform at the Civic Theatre when their massive tour swings through New Orleans on Friday, September 1.

The pair, which consists of singer Amelia Meath and producer Nick Sanborn, first rose to prominence in 2014 with their intriguing self-titled debut album. Now it looks like a follow up—dubbed What Now—is due out on Friday, April 28 via Loma Vista Recordings. That may be a ways out, but the band was kind enough to share a new single, “Die Young,” to tide fans over in the meantime.

A solo project from Wye Oak’s Jenn Wasner called Flock of Dimes will support Sylvan Esso with an opening set during their New Orleans show. Tickets for the concert will go on sale to the general public on Friday, March 3.
