Sylvan Esso @ T5, 1/23/2015
Sylvan Esso

Ensconced in darkness, Meath and Sanborn descended onstage with minimal equipment, only the synth station and microphones. Barreling into “Could I Be,” the sound gave out midway to the surprise of the duo. Not to miss a beat, Sanborn stated, “This has never happened before.” Those in the crowd weren’t worried as the band quickly took it back to the top before Meath playfully announced, “Once more with feeling.” The pint-size singer in platform shoes commanded the stage with intricate dance moves that could give Robyn a run for her money. I’m not sure if it was the java scent stuck on my clothes from an earlier Cafe Grumpy run, but I was abuzz for “Coffee” and so were the fans cascading to the lyrics “get up, get down. [House List]

Electro pop duo Sylvan Esso played their biggest NYC show yet on Friday (1/23), headlining a sold-out Terminal 5. Amelia Meath’s dance moves and charm translate well to bigger stages. We missed opener Mr Twin Sister but pictures from Sylvan Esso’s set are in this post.

This weekend, Sylvan Esso will be in Puerto Adventuras, Mexico for My Morning Jacket’s One Big Holiday. They’ll then head to Europe before returning to North America for a spring tour. There are no Northeast shows announced as part of that, at least not yet. All dates are listed, along with more pics from T5, below…
