Wye Oak"s 2009 sophomore album, The Knot, is now available on vinyl! Wye Oak started as two friends (Jenn Wasner and Andy Stack) recording songwriting demos together, but their basement project has since evolved to include tours of America and Europe, and a home on legendary label Merge Records. The Knot reflects that burgeoning confidence and comfort while maintaining the intimacy and emotional directness that are the band"s hallmarks. Only good things can come of a band this curious, honest, and oblivious to current trends. Pay attention.
