Wye Oak is the indie rock duo of Jenn Wasner and Andy Stack, formed in Baltimore in 2006. They are known for their evolving sound, blending elements of folk, rock, and electronic music. The 2016 album "Tween" arrived during a period of experimentation for the band, following their more synth-driven 2014 album "Shriek" and preceding their return to a more guitar-centric sound on "The Louder I Call, The Faster It Runs."
