About This Track
Sylvan Esso's "Radio" takes aim at the compromises artists face, where "being a slave to the radio" means sacrificing creative control to meet broadcast standards, according to the band. The track's engineer, Billy Cicerelli, helps create a sound that moves forward consistently, a locked groove that almost forces movement. Amelia Meath handles the "original" vocals, while Nick Sanborn plays the "original" instrumentation.
