Wye Oak are coming to Exeter following the release of their triumphant fifth album The Louder I Call, The Faster It Runs.
The Louder I Call, The Faster It Runs begins with an explosion. For a few seconds, piano, drums, and a playful keyboard loop gather momentum; then, all at once, they burst, enormous bass flooding the elastic beat.
The moment declares the second coming of Wye Oak, a band that spent more than a decade preparing to write this record — their most gripping and powerful set of songs to date, built with melodies, movement, and emotions that transcend even the best of their catalogue.
It's been a while since I saw Jamie Yost perform but I can tell you that this Plymouth based musician is superb and you'd be a fool to miss his set. We caught up with Jamie recently, click HERE to see what we chatted about.
Madeline Kenney is also supporting Wye Oak and is an Oakland (California) dwelling Seattle transplant, who makes twang-hazy dream pop. Again, we hope to be able to run a feature on Madeline in the near future. Check out her latest track "Cut Me Off".
