Hot on the heels of two powerful Coachella performances, Sylvan Esso is releasing H.S.K.T. a collection of remixes of their exhilarating single “H.S.K.T.,” featuring Dntel and Hercules & Love Affair among others. The remixes will be released digitally on May 12 and on 12″ vinyl August 21. The digital version includes bonus tracks and the 12″ will include those tracks on a digital download card. To celebrate the announcement, the North Carolina-based duo hired Sara Padgett and Adam Heathcott of Endless Endless to direct the mesmerizing lyric video that is available now.

“‘H.S.K.T.’ is no ordinary song – and this is no ordinary lyric video,” says Padgett. “The anatomy of the production grew straight out of our photo shoot for the song’s 12-inch jacket. The third in a series of singles whose design boldly declared Sylvan Esso in simple text, ‘H.S.K.T’ introduces Nick and Amelia into the picture – literally. What began as an exploration in still photography quickly evolved into an evening in a room only lit by the words of ‘H.S.K.T’ – and entirely soundtracked by them. The energy that Nick and Amelia have generated all over the world, on their debut album and on increasingly big stages, was discovered, messed with, and simply captured. You can read along, or you can just dance.”

To supplement the entire concept and create an entirely new and deeper level of immersive experience, the band hired Donovan Brien to design an interactive website in which fans can invent their own remixes and versions of the video.
