MP3 Wye Oak - “Warning”

For two people, Baltimore’s Wye Oak sure do make a hell of a lot of noise.

The band formerly known as Monarch has recently signed to Merge Records, and “Warning” is the lead single from their forthcoming album If Children. With a frantic, hurried update of the jangly twee side of shoegaze, Wye Oak mix rich and sweet vocals perfectly with feedback-driven, poppy guitars, and end up sounding like a mix between Velocity Girl and Darling Buds.

The band will be playing the Doug Fir on January 27th with Velella Velella and Team Evil.
