The name Made of Oak might not ring a bell. You may not even recognize the real name of the man who’s so named himself, Nick Sanborn. But if you’re an electronic pop music fan, or just a fan of electronic music in general, then the name of his full-time gig surely will, as it’s…

Often, Sylvan Esso rely on big beats to drive their songs. But sometimes they like to get mellow, too.

I love their mix of organic sounds and electro-tinkering. If anyone’s ever mixed those so expertly before, I sure haven’t heard it. And there’s no way it could have been this good. Trust me, their album, coming out May 13th here in the States, is going to rank high on a lot of critic’s best…
