Wye Oak 259

Wye Oak is an American indie rock duo from Baltimore, Maryland, United States, composed of Andy Stack (drums, keyboards, backup vocals) and Jenn Wasner (vocals, guitars, and as of recently, bass).

Their sound has been described as “earnest folk-influenced indie rock with touches of noise and dream pop”. On their 2014 album Shriek, they significantly changed their approach, embracing synthesizers and New Wave harmonies while retaining the key element of Wasner’s husky vocals. 2018 album The Louder I Call, the Faster It Runs expanded this approach to include heavily Eno-influenced art-rock on some tracks, while resurfacing the folk elements largely discarded on Shriek.
