Why it hurts to release a record (with Sylvan Esso)
Earlier this year, the members of Sylvan Esso took a gamble, making their "most free and wild and strange" album yet: No Rules Sandy. And to add to the overall theme of lawlessness, Amelia Meath and Nick Sanborn decided to do something equally as free and radical: they decided to forgo the typical multi-year album cycle as well as a standard promo campaign.\xa0While wrapped in what Amelia calls a \u201cPR cocoon,\u201d she began to think about the less tangible aspects of the album rollout process, and wanted to enlist other musicians (as well as Switched On Pop) in exploring certain aspects of what it means to be an artist to answer the question: why does it hurt to release records?\n\nSongs Discussed\n\nSylvan Esso - Your Reality\n\nSylvan Esso - Cloud Walker\n\nSylvan Esso - Didn\u2019t Care\n\nSylvan Esso - Look At Me\n\nSylvan Esso - How Did You Know\n\nSylvan Esso - Sunburn\n\nMUNA - Number One Fan\n\nMUNA - Silk Chiffon\n\nMUNA - What I Want\n\nBartees Strange - Heavy Heart\n\nBartees Strange - Co Signs\n\nBartees Strange - Hennessy\n\nWilco - Cruel Country\n\nMaggie Rogers - Alaska\n\nMaggie Rogers - That\u2019s Where I Am\n\nMaggie Rogers - Anywhere with You\n\nMaggie Rogers - Want Want\n\nMaggie Rogers - Begging for Rain\n\n\nLearn more about your ad choices.
