Wye Oak - Louder I Call The Faster It Runs - VINYL LP
About this product
For The Louder I Call, The Faster It Runs, Wye Oak's Jenn Wasner and Andy Stack flew to one another's cities-she in Durham, North Carolina, he in Marfa, Texas-for a week or so at a time, hunkering in home studios to sort through and combine their separate song sketches. These shorter stints together produced less second-guessing and hesitation in their process, yielding an unabashed and unapologetic Wye Oak. They discarded past rules about how to write a record, instead funneling all those experiences and experiments into perfectly unified statements. The result is the biggest, broadest, boldest music Wye Oak has ever made. Louder pursues a litany of modern malaises, each of it's dozen tracks diligently addressing a new conflict and pinning it against walls of sound, with the song's subject and shape inextricably and ingeniously linked. It arrives at a time of immense doubt, when our personal problems are infinitely compounded by a world that seems in existential peril. But these songs answer the challenge by radiating self-reflection and resolve, wielding hooks and musical intricacy as a shield against the madness of the moment. Album Tracks 1. (Tuning) 2.

Vinyl LP pressing. Jenn Wasner and Andy Stack of Wye Oak have spent most of their lives in Baltimore, Maryland. But after two years of constant touring with CIVILIAN, their lauded 2011 album, they landed on opposite sides of the country with an unforeseeable future. Despite this newfound uncertainty, the two embraced their physical distance, passing ideas back and forth, allowing new work to evolve in their respective solitudes. SHRIEK is Wye Oak's fourth full-length and the culmination of their intent to express the emotional and intuitive self by acting out animalistic exclamations through cathartic . Album Tracks 1. Before 2. Shriek 3. The Tower 4. Glory 5. Sick Talk 6. Schools of Eyes 7. Despicable Animal 8. Paradise 9. I Know the Law 10. Logic of Color
The complete album + 2 bonus tracks - limited edition pressing on 180g vinyl. Best known for his film and TV scores (Dirty Harry, Enter The Dragon, Mission Impossible, The Eagle Has Landed, to name just a few) Lalo Schifrin (1932-2025) began as a jazz pianist who worked with some of the most important musicians of his day. The Insensatez session was cut during Schifrin's involvement in Dizzy Gillespie's band, which explains the participation of musicians from that aggregation. First issued as Piano, Strings & Bossa Nova in 1962 (produced by Creed Taylor), this album was reissued with one less title, as Insensatez on Verve in 1969. Featuring 12 Brazilianized themes and four Lalo Schifrin originals - 'The Wave', 'Rio After Dark', and 'Silvia' from Schifrin's movie score El Jefe, and 'Lalo's Bossa Nova' written for Quincy Jones' 1962 album Big Band Bossa Nova. Insensatez offers a rare insight to Schifrin's superb musicianship, not only as a composer, but also as a pianist. Album Tracks 1. The Wave 2. Insensatez 3. You and Me [Voce E Eu] 4. Lalo's Bossa Nova [Samba Para Dos] 5. Silvia 6. Murmurio 7. An Evening in Sao Paulo 8. Maria 9. Rapaz de Bem 10. Samba Do Perroquet [Parrot Samba] 11. Rio After Dark 12. Time for Love 13. (I'm Looking Over a) Four Leaf Clover 14. Desafinado
LP is red and white splatter vinyl in jacket + white dust sleeve + printed insert for full album . Originally self-released in 2007 under the moniker Monarch, Wye Oak's debut If Children was given a proper introduction to the world the following spring on Merge Records. Jenn Wasner and Andy Stack take their minimalist setup to maximalist ends, pairing gentle campfire folk with bombastic hazy shoegaze, sometimes within the same song. Their assured mission statement makes it's vinyl debut, on red and white splatter, no less. Album Tracks 1. Please Concrete 2. Warning 3. Regret 4. Archaic Smile 5. Family Glue 6. Orchard Fair 7. I Don't Feel Young 8. Keeping Company 9. A Lawn to Mow 10. If Children Were Wishes 11. Obituary
