New Music from Wye Oak
Having been a long time fan of Wye Oak, of course I was looking forward to this track, and any ensuing goodness they had to offer up. But, when the song appeared on TheGum I had no idea just how good it was going to be. Jenn’s voice sounds phenomenal here, and part of me has this tingling feeling I got when I first heard “Zebra” by Beach House last year. If that’s any indicator, then Civilian, the new album out on March 8th from Merge is going to be one incredible animal. Just listen to that squalling feedback near the end! It’s like steamy sex in the woods, then Sonic Youth reckless abandon. Yes, I realize that might be a bit redundant, but go with it.
