Sylvan Esso: Rewind | Echo Mountain Sessions 

"This is about me watching scenes from movies over and over again when I was a kid, learning turns of phrases and dance moves, and how to be a person. The chorus is about repeated viewings on VHS - how when you are rewinding something the picture dims and when you press ‘play,’ the room floods with light again. It is about building your personality from media, and then slowly dismantling it to become an honest human and an amalgamation of your influences from family, friends, movies, music and idols." -Amelia Meath, NPR

This. Sylvan Esso needs to do more of this. Full ensemble, yet distinctly simple. Beautiful.

That guitar adds so much to the song. I can't get enough of this. I am so glad this exists

pretty shocked that something this good is free, jolly pleased it is though because it was bliss watching it

This is quickly becoming my favorite song. SOOOO GOOOD!

so many amazing people in one room, one beautiful performance

Holy Cr@p! Mountain Man AND Jenn Wasner from Wye Oak. The Sylvan Esso duo is growing bit by bit! Lovely stuff!

That was excellent, and the sound quality was perfect, I hope you guys do more videos like this.

this series is amazing. Sylvan esso is amazing.

This sounds too cleeeaaan! Love it.

It's moments like this when harmony & peace come together and the world is...AHHHHHH

I think the second half of this video literally hypnotized me

Listened to this album on my first visit through Europe. Probably listened to it like 40+ times on repeat while on beautiful flights and train rides through unknown scenery and places. This song in particular has to be the most beautiful thing I hear daily and instantly places me back there no matter the state of the day. Thanks Sylvan Esso.

YES! they reunite.

Whaaaaat sylvan with real instruments whaaaaaaaat

So nice to see everyone from Mountain Man together!

i have been back so many times to listen to this. Time to buy

It would be amazing if they went on tour with a full band. Would love to see more songs performed like this!

Sylvan Esso never dissapoints 😍😍😍😍

Saw Sylvan Esso at Shaky Knees this year and they were incredible. Hope to see them again!

I love it when Amelia plays the invisible-harp

I like this style of video

Stunning. Love hearing artists re-imagine their own work . . . reminds me of Son Lux in the Tiny Desk series.

I feel like this is for someone special to them? So beautiful 💙👌

Pure auditory magic

No no no no no no no no no, that's not right. This should have waaaaay more than 2k likes. This is fuckin gold. ✌🏻

Love her voice and the overall soundworld ☺

I cried when I realized Mountain Man reunited! So sweet!

Listen...this is .so. dope; every.single.person in this beautifully orchestrated piece is glory-be-to-god-good. Seriously....so velvety and.right.on. Loop, baby. Loop and sway.

The drummer's focus is so intense

Personally, I find these versions to be way better than the album. Reminds me a lot of Wild Ones' first album.

I love this!!!! Saw them a month ago at Eaux Claires

Seeing Nick play bass brings the BIGGEST grin to my face.

God I love Asheville, and I love Molly and Alex too!! YESSSSSS!

Love the way she spells "backward attack" - Sending love from Brazil

can never go wrong with Sylvan Esso, both albums were best of their year

I hardly new 'em! Love all of the SE... and the new is a lovely listen. The grooves are still there. Just lovely!

holy shit. this is one of the best sounding and looking live performance music videos I have ever seen ever. fantastic job!

good to see the gals back together. wish they would do more. show off that perfect harmony again.

This is wonderful. Great job guys, truly beatiful.

I think rewind is up there with the best songs of history.

Might as well call the video: How art is Made 101Love it, love you guys man!!

my new drug!! I have to say that this is like poetry in motion for me... WOW!

Beautiful.

Glorious.

Their music is so great because it allows you to exist outside of yourself.

Amazing!! each day more I´m Love this band!

yas Mountain Man gives me lyfe

Holly Mountain Man hit the REWIND button, Batman!!!!

Had to replay that a couple of times. Brilliant.

No love for Matt Douglas? This is also now a super group with a member of the Mountain Goats so OK that's cool. And that flute just sounds so good.

whew! that was exhilarating!

Love love SE

I caught Ferris Wheel on Samatha B,,,, started looking the band playlists up. Ohhhh I’ve gotten SO OLD. I Love It. You got a GrandDads Attention. Class, Style, Vocal Range, Performance Dance Art. Ummmm Grammys Club,,, wake up,,,, you passed them by one time. Seriously Nick & Amelia the mix of vocals with the EDM back beat,,, Takes Me Away To Days Past.

Saw Sylvan, so I clicked.

why do i get choked up. guh. buh.

Amazing!!!!!

I commented on the other one as well but fuck it, Jenn is so great and this is a fucking jam.

Wow, this is like a lineup of North Carolina's greatest musicians. Hope to see the Cook brothers & MC Taylor in a future one!

Lovely.

Bailing in the red, blue, green I'm learning how to think Learning how to shake that thing Learning how the grown ups dream Those friends you're making on the screen They teach you how to be, to be You reinvent and feel that quick And then you're back in love again Watch them, take it on back Take it on back, do the rewind, yeah Moving so fast, backward attack Do it again, light up the room Watch them, bring it on back Bring it on back, do the rewind, yeah Moving so fast, backward attack Do it again, light up the room Are you hitchin a ride to the other side, whatcha try to be? Are you a rewind baby with so much to lose and no present? Are you a rabid player and a one shot ski? Or are are you splashing up a fantasy? Watch them, take it on back Take it on back, do the rewind, yeah Moving so fast, backward attack Do it again, light up the room Watch them, take it on back Take it on back, do the rewind, yeah Moving so fast, backward attack Do it again, light up the room

Bucking Frilliant !

polyphonic bliss.

the engineering and mixing on this is top notch!

When the piano comes in, the song becomes something nice.

Excellent!

Damn, I love Sylvan Esso, but it'd be great to have a new Mountain Man album.
