We've teamed up with Come Hear NC on a podcast series that explores North Carolina music one song at a time. On this episode, we chat with Durham rapper Lord Fess about Sylvan Esso's 'Die Young.' It's a song he says speaks to him personally, and is also one with incredible production.
"Where the usual bass drop is supposed to happen, he quiets it down. And it goes silent. There’s build up, build up, build up...the crescendo is the quiet, the whisper that Amelia is singing in that moment."
Sylvan Esso performs at DPAC on November 22nd and 23rd as part of their WITH tour.
