The Knot

Wye Oak

Tension and release. Smoldering guitar fuzz meets intricate percussion and a rich alto voice to create a heavy, late-night atmosphere.

July 21, 2009 · Affairs Of The Heart

Find on Amazon

A heavy, brooding exploration of intimacy and isolation that alternates between fragile stillness and distorted catharsis.
