Wye Oak

The music, literature, and more festival also includes Wye Oak, Margaret Glaspy, Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, Algiers, Jamila Woods, and much more.

Sylvan Esso’s new EP showcases collaborations from a myriad of musicians, including Wye Oak, The Mountain Goats, Hiss Golden Messenger, as well as members of Amelia and Nick’s other bands, Mountain Man and Megafaun.

Deerhoof’s new album ‘Mountain Moves’ also features Laetitia Sadier (Stereolab), Awkwafina, Juana Molina, Xenia Rubinos, and Matana Roberts.

It’s the latest in the ‘Our First 100 Days’ series.

Right after Bruno Mars’ cheesy Prince tribute on the Grammy Awards Ceremony, a commercial for the Google Pixel Phone aired where Sampha, Deer Tick’s John McCauley, Wye Oak’s Jenn Wasner, Brandi Carlile and more contributed to a “Nothing Compares 2 U” cover.

Today (12/28) is the last episode of BrooklynVegan Blog Radio on SiriusXMU for 2016 and host Nick Masi spends it counting down his favorite records of the year, which include many records that ended up on BV’s year-end list.

Thor offers up an eclectic list that shouts out fellow Swans musician Norman Westberg, both Jenn Wasner projects (Flock of Dimes and Wye Oak), Death Grips, Lawrence English, Hospital Ships and more.

Flock of Dimes (aka Jenn Washer of Wye Oak) has released her second single “Everything is Happening Today” in anticipation of her upcoming solo debut album, ‘If You See Me, Say Yes.’ The track, which you can hear below, dials up the electropop buzz…

Jenn’s solo debut as Flock of Dimes will be out in September.
