Wye Oak & Shearwater @ Hi-Dive, Denver Live Tracks
Oooo, Wye Oak and Shearwater in one night.. would have been a good night to be at the Hi-Dive in Denver. Head over to Flat Response to listen to and download both sets. Also check out a review of the show here.
For two people, Jenn Wasner and Andy Stack had a huge sound. Although Wasner’s girlish but resonantly powerful voice would have been impressive enough on its own, her guitar work was phenomenal, and for his part, Stack played great bass lines while also playing powerful, tribal drums. I don’t know if Wasner uses loops to accomplish her gigantic, sweeping riffs, but I did see her play some of the most interesting indie rock guitar lines of the last decade. Visions of having seen Helium and Yo La Tengo washed through my head as the band’s all-too-short set progressed.
Wye Oak “Magic Johnson” (Live @ The Hi-Dive, Denver)
This must be a new song and MAN does it have an awesome guitar riff in the end.

I dig it, sounds like Neil Young, maybe some mirrorball action
