Sylvan Esso have shared a new single from their upcoming album Free Love , out this Friday via Loma Vista. It’s called ‘Free’ and it arrives with an accompanying music video directed by D.L. Anderson. Check it out below.
“Free was written all in one go. One of those magical moments of songwriting that happens once every hundred songs,” the duo’s Amelia Meath said in a statement. “Nick [Sanborn, bandmate] knew it was the centrepiece of the record the minute I showed it to him. ‘We should call the record Free Love.’ It’s the centre of the record – a song about being obscured by someone’s loving impression. A mirror on a mirror.”
Free Love marks the follow-up to 2017’s What Now. Previously, Sylvan Esso previewed the album with the singles ‘Ferris Wheel’, ‘Rooftop Dancing’, and ‘Frequency’, the latter of which came with a Moses-Sumney directed video.
