MUSIC: SYLVAN ESSO Sylvan Esso’s last few stops in Vegas were festival-based, so it’s about time we got this mesmerizing dance duo in a room to ourselves. Together, Amelia Meath and Nick Sanborn produce a harmonious level of pop that’s both visceral and senses-tingling. The bass thumps harder here, and songs like “Echo Party” and “Ferris Wheel” unleash a heady kind of buzz you haven’t felt since college. Meath’s floaty, folk-centric delivery elevates the work, while Sanborn’s hypnotic production manages to keep you grounded—on the dancefloor, that is. On 2022’s No Rules Sandy, Sylvan Esso deconstructs the very framework of electro-pop, experimenting with glitchier, punchier sounds that make headphones a must for the first listen. You won’t be able to re-create that scenario exactly in a large room of fans, but Sylvan Esso’s intimate body of work ensures you’ll get close. With Reyna Tropical. 7 p.m., $40-$60, Brooklyn Bowl, ticketmaster.com. –Amber Sampson
