Concert Review: Sylvan Esso Go Star Wars On Beacon Theatre

Sylvan Esso showed what they always knew and felt about themselves; they are deeper in meaning then one might think upon listen. I say this because Sylvan Esso are a dance duo, and, for some reason, a lot of people do not believe dance music is rich in wisdom, even if so in empowerment. Yet, if you empower people then you have to have wisdom, right? At Beacon Theatre, Sylvan Esso gave a show that said YES! 

 I have yet to go to a Sylvan Esso show where anyone was still or silent. They have created a following that understand their space is to get loose. Ironically, at Beacon Theatre, it was adding more instruments that helped viewers feel a little more still to catch more about their songs. Usually, when we say “to simplify,” it is to strip sounds and verses into sense of bareness, but adding a 10 piece band and vivid lighting gave Sylvan Esso a Star Wars  level of cosmic excitements and electricity. It was as if they were the Hans Zimmer version of Sylvan Esso.

I am sucker for an orchestra, even if mini, because something about them makes me feel like God is knitting a melody and putting it over my ears like a pair of muffs…. yeah. I 100% got that feeling with Sylvan Esso and the instrumental additions help them achieve a level of joy that felt tangible. If their pure, dance concerts are euphoric, this one felt mystic; making you move more but also think more, as well. You could tell the effect was even reaching them.

Amelia Meath and Nick Sanbor felt refreshed by the massive stage and the expansion of their sound. Between their laughs and stories, their was a brightness that twinkled in them as if they felt their current tour was a new chapter or rather a foreword for the next one to come. Yet, make no mistake, they proved you can enrich fun and make silliness and smiles feel deserving beautiful visuals and harmonized  hooks. Moreover, Amelia Meath is a tour-de-force. She is rambunctious, bold, and loving in her delivery of songs and connection with the audience, which rounds this Sylvan Esso tour as unmissable. Click Here To Buy Tickets.
