Song Exploder - Sylvan Esso, "Coffee"

What it does

Nick and Amelia of Sylvan Esso talk about the origins of the sounds and lyrics within the song "Coffee."

Sylvan Esso has two members, Amelia Meath and Nick Sanborn, who met while they were both working on other projects. Amelia asked Nick to do a remix of a song by the band she was in at the time, and when that remix was done, they both loved how it turned out . They emailed song ideas back and forth for a while, until they found a time to be in the same place. It was at that point that they first started working on the song, “ Coffee .” In this episode, Nick and Amelia talk about the origins of the sounds and lyrics within the song, from a Little Tikes xylophone to “ Hanky Panky ” by Tommy James and thefrom songexploder.net
