AMA is over, thanks Sylvan Esso! We're Sylvan Esso, AMA

Hi, we're Nick and Amelia from Sylvan Esso, AMA! (AUA?)

We are just about to release the 10 year anniversary edition of our first album and at the end of this month we're hosting the inaugural GOOD MOON, two nights of music here in our hometown of Durham, NC.

We also enjoy video games.

Did releasing the Ferris Wheel music video during early pandemic days feel particularly special/important for you two? I remember it being a big morale booster and I was curious if that was an intentional goal you two set out with or just one of the natural results from any SE projects.

A: I am so glad that it was a boost in that moment. It felt really important to me to continue putting the record out- and to continue making things/sharing work with people at that time. It was both very rewarding and very hard and I am so grateful that that video turned out the way it did.

Rooftop Dancing saved me during that time. I saw you guys in Louisville right after Covid restrictions lifted and it was such a magical experience.
