Wye Oak- Turner Hall Ballroom, 5/14/14

The Baltimore duo of Jenn Wasner and Andy Stack, better known as Wye Oak, proved to be on their A game when they rocked the Turner Hall Ballroom.  The duo's set drew heavily from their latest release, Shriek.  The album finds the duo branching out their sound more using synthesizers, electronic arrangements, and Wasner playing the bass for the majority of the tracks.  This record may be their most accessible to date and translated great live.  In addition, the band rocked out several tunes from their earlier releases, especially 2011's Civillian.  Highlights included the Sonic Youth inspired, "Holy Holy," as well as newer tracks, "Shriek," and their finale, "Logic of Color."
