Wye Oak bring a few songs off their recently released EP NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert. This medium works perfectly for them since they are just a duo anyway. They close with the very pretty “I Hope You Die” in acoustic form, and one of my favorite songs that they rarely play at shows, the song Andy sings on , “Regret”, from If Children

Wye Oak came out with a new EP today titled My Neighbor/My Creator and based on this song alone it sounds pretty damned good.  Jenn Wasner’s voice is as good as ever (with a nice effect added) and i hear some new sounds on this that i hadn’t heard on previous songs.  Are those horns?  Really adds to the already nice atmosphere the band creates.

So we’re excited about Shearwater’s upcoming album, and especially to see them live (their 2008 show we saw was nothing short of epic)..what can make it better?  One of our fav local (and national) bands, Wye Oak, is opening for them..that’s what.

The only downside is they’re playing the horrible Rock & Roll Hotel in DC (3/26).  You gotta get there early for a good spot in that joint.  Done and done.

Hear Shearwater’s new tunage here, and check out some sweet pics of a recent Wye Oak show from Kyle Gustafson.

One of our favorite local bands Wye Oak are set to release their sophomore album The Knot tomorrow and it’s a must listen.  It’s rare that a band can not only match their debut album, but go above and beyond it…which Andy and Jenn find themselves doing on this one.  Very good album, and if you’re in baltimore be sure to check them out at ottobar tomorrow for their cd release party.

Stream the entire album right here.

Order it here.
