Feist as backing vocalist to form the duo Sylvan Esso together with Nick Sanborn. Not only their music turned out to be a good marriage, the two also got married later on. Free Love focuses on a dichotomy, because the duo illuminates both the fear of the world and the power you can draw from charity.
