Sylvan Esso: Die Young | Echo Mountain Sessions 

Matt Douglas is doing god's work with that sax.

When the Sax kicks in it's about the sexiest thing ever.

I wish more organic electronic musicians would provide their music with this kind of space to breathe and grow. I can't get enough.

My lord, that sax is just the most beautiful thing. What an incredible version of the song. I prefer this to the original!

Duke Silver is killing it on the Sax ;-)

Sylvan Esso on the trending tab... I can die happy now.

I would pay $1 million dollars for a new Sylvan Esso record recorded with this group.

HOW DOES HER VOICE DO THATTTTT

That sax tho...just makes it. Love sylvan esso

Mountain Man together again:)

Amelia's voice is mesmerizing and so so lovely.

a fucking saxophone, hold me

She makes it look so effortless, which makes it all the more beautiful to, both, listen and watch

this is the best Sylvan Esso, ive heard, full band, outstanding. please, please continue

Wow! It’s so amazing to hear a full band arrangement of this son. Excellent synth choice with the Prophet 6, too.

Some of the best music I've heard on NPR as of late.

Can't listen to the studio version anymore without whistling that saxophone riff.

i love these guys . this full band makes me so happy to hear

God this vibe is the best. Thank you for this piece of art!

Love how Jenn Wasner and Matt Douglas work so well together on this song. Both are awesome musicians.

This is so beautiful I am literally crying.

I'm a bass player and the bass player, she did her thing. Great timing and the sound is fire

This is simply amazing. Thank you, NPR, for showing me Sylvan Esso.

I think this one is my favorite for hearing Amelia's voice, something in it hits me the right way

How is her voice even real? Good lord ❤️

Reminds me of Tune Yards. Great job.

Really hoping they all go on tour together.

damn NPR, i love you for doing what you do and this amazing sound quality!

The camera work on this is as spot on as the music.

Such good lyrics. Such great jamz!

just feels right to see all of them together!

Major chills. So so good.

Love the collaboration. It's amazing to hear them with full band so much depth you can't do with a mixer alone. Hope they continue more of these sessions.

This sounds SO great. It's amazing to think that they recorded all these amazing sounds in 1 day. Such an easy listen.

Wonderful....amazing....the whole thing.

Wow! It's hard to top the original version, but this one is even more amazing! The addition of the other muscians is fantastic.

Love each individual voice. Sax guy has great riiff. And fade to black nails it!

This is so great. Reminds me of when Sam Beam added a full band with horns to Iron & Wine. I love Amelia and Nick together but this is a really cool progression.

I love this new album!!! I've been waiting forever

Omg I'm so glad to see them making it big!!

I love the use of the saxophone in this song!

Man, and I thought the original was unbeatable. This is damn good stuff.

THAT SAX! #swoon

oh my word! love the sax!

This is amazing and I haven't even heard of them before. They've got a new fan ;)

Wow!!! Incredible!! Drove up to NC from florida a few months ago to see you guys!! that was incredible too! Thanks for creating magic! You're Amazing!

we need more artists and music this 💕 just eargasmic.

Punchy and fun. Great version. Thank you! My "song of the summer" this year.

the synthesizers and trumpets mashed up together is craziness

I can't stop watching! Good stuff right here! Amelia can you come sing me to sleep?

This gives me life on so many levels.

Beautiful music to get me through the work day.

I dont know what effect they are running that sax through, but it sounds so good!

beautiful gathering of friends making music

dadgum, this is really good.

What a voice!

Début de la vidéo première fois que je vois sourire cette chanteuse lunaire que je surkiff ! 😎☝🤘

Can't get enough

Ich sitze soeben in meiner Wohnung im schneidersitz auf dem Boden nach dem putzen um 21.13uhr und höre dieses Lied und schätze das, was ich habe. Schönes Lied. ¶¶

So good.

Mountain man !!!

Amazing band. Super live

Utterly wonderful. Thank you from bottom of my heart.

This is a goddamn treasure! Brilliant

I was almost compelled to pull over and stop to listen to this when it first came on the radio. Love it!

That bass guitar tone is huge!

Wow the talent in this room. Thank you so very much to the artists for sharing. Incredible ! Much love!

Wanna hear my interpretation? Probably not, but here it goes: She had the opportunity to live a hedonistic life of mediocrity until she inevitably died of an overdose, or suicide, or any number of ways a person who no longer sees beauty in themselves quietly leaves this life. Then she met someone. Someone who embodied everything right and beautiful in this world that she had assumed no longer existed. All of a sudden, her perfectly laid plans to live an underwhelming life and prematurely die in something of a whimper was no longer as appealing as it had once seemed. She found someone who made life worth living again and now she's faced with the reality that she cannot leave so swiftly and recklessly. She needs--perhaps even WANTS--to stay for the first time in a long time... if not for herself, then for this angel that she discovered amongst the wreckage of what had once been her life. The song is a reconciliation of the two conflicting desires and her decision that sticking around may not be so bad after all. Soooo, yeah, there ya have it! I may be completely wrong, which is quite likely, but this interpretation led me to hear something new in the song and hear/see something I don't often recognize in myself.

My toast got cold, so I used the sax in this song to melt butter for my toast.

Amazing. Beautiful

Re-discovering Sylvan Esso after going through my old Hype Machine likes (haven't used it in years.) I just happened to take a giant amount of edibles and I'm sitting here with tears running down my cheeks, it's so beautiful. Last time I had this reaction was listening to Purity Ring's Shrines when it released while tripping on shrooms. I think they are comparable bands in how they experiment and their creativity. Love this duo so much, and this band brings a fresh take to the song and its powerful af.

Very nice rendition... but that sax! I feel like they really missed an opportunity to let that dude on the sax rip into a sweet '80s style solo 😁

Absolutely perfect!!! Gorgeous song and whoever did the sound deserves a medal! Wow.

I heart Mountain Man

Sylvan Esso is amazing, please check them out everyone!

This mixdown is so good...the room just opens up and comes alive I can't get enough

Genius composition 👏🏼

more of this ASAP.

This made me want to pick up my tenor sax again

So glad this is trending!

I love this version.🌞

Sylvan Esso was trending on RU-vid, I could not believe it. :D

These are so great!

Amazing. Love for my ears.

Thanks i love this song

that's just fckn sublime! xx

For some reason, the NPR Music version of this song doesn't credit the musicians. MUSICIANS Matt Douglas: saxophone; Ryan Gustafson: guitar; Amelia Meath: vocals; Nick Sanborn: keys; Molly Sarle: vocals; Alexandra Sauser-Monnig: vocals; Jenn Wasner: bass; Joe Westerlund: drums Matt's sax just makes these songs rock!

Sax player is killing it.

Oh man, I can't wait to hear this live at Bonnaroo.

Breathtaking!

these lyrics just blow my mind

😍😍😍😍😍😍 oh y'all

The chorus is soooo yummmmmmy

This band is stacked.

More of these please, thank you.

This is insanely good. Amelia's voice 😍

Whaaaaaat!!!

Everything about this is the best.

Look at all that anamorphic lens flare!!

Love.
