## Summary

Sylvan Esso have announced a new album, 'Ow ∞', due for release on 11th September via Psychic Hotline. The duo, Amelia Meath and Nick Sanborn, have been developing the record since 2022 through daily studio sessions at their Chapel Hill, North Carolina studio, Betty's, marking the longest writing process the band has undertaken for any album to date.

The sessions involved six different drummers as the pair reworked their sound, and the announcement arrives alongside new single 'Concrete Glen'. Speaking about her production approach, Meath described favouring restraint, removing roughly a third of an idea to leave space for listeners to engage creatively, and framed the album's themes around the inevitability of hurt as part of fully participating in life.
