Wye Oak have announced summer tour dates, including an opening slot for the Dirty Projectors as well as festival appearances at Celebrate Brooklyn!, the Forecastle Festival and the Hopscotch Festival.
Civilian is the most concise and compelling example of Wye Oak’s artistry, unafraid to leap into the depths of sorrow, heartbreak and melancholy, but without losing their sense of adventure and humor. It’s certainly one of the finest releases of 2011, and is worthy of the praise through and through.
