Sylvan Esso took four years to write Ow ∞ (pronounced "Ow Infinity"), the longest they've ever spent on an album. Written at their North Carolina studio, the record grew from improvisation and collaboration, with many of Amelia Meath's vocals captured in first takes, giving the songs an immediate, unguarded feel.
Guest appearances from Glenn Kotche, Matt Douglas, Jenn Wasner, Joe Westerlund, Jake Luppen, Daniel Aged and TJ Maiani helped shape a set of inventive electronic pop that feels loose, energetic and unpredictable. Ow ∞ reflects a band confident in their own process, making music on their own terms through their own studio and label while embracing the uncertainty at the heart of the songs.
