Sylvan Esso Returns to Spotify After a Year-Long Hiatus
Indie pop duo Sylvan Esso has returned to Spotify after an extended absence, which Amelia Meath described as 'incredibly hard' and financially unsustainable. The band took the year off from streaming platforms in part due to concerns over how music is monetized on these services. Their new album Ow ∞ was released last week, coinciding with their return announcement. Despite returning to Spotify, the group encouraged fans to consider other listening platforms that better align with their values and financial needs. The decision reflects broader tensions within the music industry regarding fair compensation for artists through streaming services like Spotify.
