This past April, Sylvan Esso dropped their second studio effort, What Now. They’ve since re-recorded a few songs off the album with additional help from some famous musician friends from their home state of North Carolina. These studio sessions have been captured for a new visual EP titled Echo Mountain Sessions, which is due to arrive this Friday, July 28th.

Spanning five tracks, the EP sees Sylvan Esso’s Amelia Meath and Nick Sanborn accompanied by a big live band comprised of members of The Mountain Goats, Wye Oak, and Hiss Golden Messenger. Musicians from Meath’s and Sanborn’s other bands, Mountain Man and Megafaun, respectively, also contributed. Everything was recorded/filmed in just one day at Echo Mountain Studios in Asheville, just a few hours west of where Sylvan Esso are based.

“The songs breathe in this totally different way and [are] reflected back at us by our friends in our community,” Sanborn told NPR of this new full-banded approach to their music. “It just reminded me what they were.”

“Yeah, exactly,” added Meath. “We’ve got to get back to the center of the songs that we’d written. Honestly it mostly taught me about the idiosyncratic nature of Nick’s and [my] collaboration. We isolate ourselves in this tiny zone and make these songs. And then when we bring them out to other musicians. A lot of the time is spent explaining the rules of each song, which was actually quite weird.”

As a preview of this forthcoming EP, Sylvan Esso have shared footage from the studio of them performing an updated version of What Now closing track “Rewind”. Check it out below; NPR will debut a new video/song off the EP each day this week.
