New Dungeonesse (Jenn Wasner/Jon Ehrens) – Shucks

Last time we checked in with Wye Oak’s Jenn Wasner and White Life’s Jon Ehrens, they were giving us a taste of their new pop project Dungeonesse with their first track “Drive You Crazy” which was a bit of a spastic pop-glitch number that was pretty good. But now they truly show their cards with the fantastic “Shucks”, which shows the duo going for a  full on snyth-R&B-love-jam that wouldn’t be out of place at a 1997 prom or a 2013 3AM afterparty. (the album is out 5/14)

New Dungeonesse (Jenn Wasner/Jon Ehrens’ Pop Project) Single “Drive You Crazy”

Jenn Wasner from Wye Oak and Jon Ehrens of White Life (both bmore bands) have teamed up for a pop-oriented project called Dungeonesse.  The entire album is slated for next spring, but for now here is the spastic lead single “Drive Me Crazy”, which is a good start for said project (via midnight sun).

This sounds nothing like Wye Oak, but I like it. Wye Oak “Spiral”

Wye Oak have a new song that they created for the Adult Swim Series (with other Artist’s like unknown Mortal Orchestra and The Hives). I don’t know if this is a new direction that Wye Oak if moving in, or just something they are experimenting with for this series. Either way, this shows a whole new side to their music which I hope to hear more of.

Video: Wye Oak on Jimmy Fallon

Couldn’t be happier for Wye Oak who made their network television debut last night on Jimmy Fallon. Seems like forever ago we were blown away by this small two-piece who called themselves Monarch. Can’t wait to see what’s ahead for them.

Wye Oak cover Danzig’s “Mother”

Major props to the City Paper’s noise blog for pointing out this amazing cover Wye Oak did of Danzig’s “Mother” for the A.V. Club cover project. It was so good i couldn’t not repost it. While she’s no Glenn Danzig, her guitar work is certainly worthy of the same levels of bad-assery (yet still pretty).
