Sylvan Esso is a Durham two-piece made up of Amelia Meath and Nick
Sanborn. Meath’s feminine voice dances over pulsing electronic beats and bass lines,
all of which are looped and layered throughout the songs. Sanborn is also the bassist of Megafaun, so seeing the genre differences and what he's capable of in both is an interesting thing to keep in mind when listening. Their debut 12” was
released in July on Trekky Records, featuring “Hey Mami” and “Play it Right.” Since, they’ve
played Hopscotch, have been remixed by Broken Social Scene’s Charles Spearin,
and have toured with the likes of Volcano Choir, Man Man and Minor Alps.
The Love Language is another Triangle favorite. The band had their
second Merge Records release in July with Ruby Red, a strong follow-up to 2010’s Libraries, that includes just as many catchy tracks as before. Tight as ever, they’re known for putting on
fun shows with rich harmonies among each instrument. The live show translates their
rock side much more explicitly than the album, so look forward to a slight twist to
what you’ve been playing on your stereo.
Doors open at 9:00pm and the music starts at 10:00pm. The show is $12
in advance and $14 at the door. Tickets and more information is available at
