Wye Oak – The Louder I Call The Faster It Runs album download
Wye Oak drop their new album The Louder I Call, The Faster It Runs. On The Louder I Call, The Faster It Runs, Wasner and Stack sound more bolder than they did on Wye Oak’s last proper studio album, 2014’s Shriek. Here, the pair builds on that record’s geometric keyboard confections and sculpts adventurous, panoramic pop bursting with contrasting textures.
A stabbing kick drum propels the grimy stomp “Over And Over,” which is also daubed with spiderweb-like synths, while distorted guitar crashes to the forefront of the otherwise tranquil “Lifer.” Throughout other songs, dusky guitars dissect plush keyboard layers, and on “You of All People,” off-kilter mechanical rhythms push against Wasner’s ethereal vocals.
After forming in 2006, the duo (multi-instrumentalists Jenn Wasner and Andy Stack) slowly metamorphosed from a more traditional indie-rock act into a keyboard-heavy operation. Although this progression was certainly due to Wasner’s growing interest in electronic music — outside of Wye Oak, she’s dabbled in R&B-tinged gloss-pop with Dungeonesse and maintains the synth-forward solo project, Flock Of Dimes — it eventually became a reflection of how the group disdains sonic constraints.
