Over the course of three surprise-filled albums, Wye Oak has artistically come of age in the public eye. Singer/guitarist Jenn Wasner and drummer/keyboardist Andy Stack mesh spellbinding folk-rock melodies with a dynamic range that shifts, in the blink of an eye, from the parlor to the garage. The Baltimore duo, whose latest album Civilian (Merge) can whisper as loud as it rocks the rafters, is on duty all week as guest editors of the MAGNET website. Read our brand new Q&A with Wasner.
Andy: Our pal Kristen works there, and we’ve gotten to visit several times. In addition to having an enormous collection of glass flowers designed by Leopold Blaschka, the museum also has a very extensive taxidermy collection. Not quite sure what the pictured creature is, but I specifically seek him out each time we visit his wing of the museum.
