   About Wye Oak

We are a two piece band from Baltimore. We be knowin each other til Armageddon.

PRESS:

"Listening to their debut album If Children is like taking a master class in indie rock (with a large section on Yo La Tengo and the male-female duo dynamic). Unlike school, though, it's actually quite a pleasant experience."

----- All Music Guide

*********************************************

". . . another band so achingly stupid, so brave at heart."

----- Pitchfork

*********************************************

"String arrangements, absolutely magnetic bass, guitar whorls, and vocal trades and harmonies grow vertically like they've been bumped up with an aural fertilizer. And standing on top of it--say, the rolling and building feedback-lacquered peaks of 'Warning' or the gentle, hopeful ascension of 'I Don't Feel Young'--is exhilarating."

----- Baltimore City Paper

*********************************************

"It's a pop song dressed up in layers and layers of feedbacking guitars and slightly distorted, sing-song vocals by Jenn Wasner, and it sounds like the work of at least fifteen musical scientists instead of two."

----- Idolator

*********************************************

"The duo left a nice mark on the packed basement, surely hinting at more great music to come in the year ahead from them."

----- CMJ

hi there. it was a blast chopping wood and playing loud tunes on fender guitars with you in true american fashion for the fourth. i'm glad nobody's finger ended up with the same fate as jerry garcia's.
i hope the shows on your tour continue to be as solid!
