Sylvan Esso have announced their upcoming fourth album, No Rules Sandy, and released the latest single, “Didn’t Care.”
The studio set will be released August 12th via Loma Vista Recordings, nearly two years after 2020’s Free Love. In addition to “Didn’t Care,” the album contain lead single, “Your Reality,” which the electronic pop duo first unveiled in late June in the wake of minimalist one-off “Sunburn.”
In a statement, Amelia Meath promised the album “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.”
To kick off the era, Meath and producer Nick Sanborn surprised the crowd at the Newport Folk Festival on Sunday by playing the entire album front to back during their set. Next, they’ll offer early previews of the studio effort at Pioneer Works in Brooklyn on July 27th and Gold Diggers in LA on August 4th. They’re also currently on tour with Odesza, which you can snags tickets for here.
Meath came together earlier this summer with Brandon Boyd of Incubus and Lucius members Jess Wolfe and Holly Laesig for a virtual roundtable celebrating the 50th anniversary of David Bowie’s seminal The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars with the acclaimed album’s co-producer Ken Scott as the panel’s very special guest.
