Baltimore-based duo Wye Oak’s newest work sees a departure from their distorted, guitar-based brand of modern folk, towards a stunning synth-drenched sound full of intricate melodies and soaring vocals. Live, the band takes its fervent following on a rollercoaster of all-encompassing sound and emotion. Jenn Wasner – who Spin calls “one of the premier voices in indie rock” – fronts on vocals and bass with Andy Stack playing drums and keyboards simultaneously, creating a sound much greater than the sum of its parts.
