What is Sylvan Esso Even Doing?

This week on What Are We Even Doing?, Kyle is joined by Grammy-nominated electro-pop duo Sylvan Esso—Amelia Meath and Nick Sanborn—for a conversation about creativity, collaboration, and why the best performances happen when there's a real chance everything could fall apart. The pair reflect on over a decade of making music together (and being married), what they've learned from workshopping unfinished songs in front of live audiences and the inspiration behind their new music, including their latest single, "Hot Slob." Along the way, they swap stories about disastrous brunch shifts, Garfield, Yoko Ono, Wisconsin, and the surprising importance of staying present before Kyle puts their partnership to the test in a game of Duet Dynamics.
