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.
Jenn: I only have the Durutti Column‘s LC on vinyl, so I only hear it when I’m lying in bed in my room, nice and cozy. Because of this, I don’t really have much to say or many stories to tell, other than it’s an incredibly beautiful record, and sometimes I forget how much of it is real and how much of it might be invented by my brain while I’m falling asleep.
