The Louder I Call, the Faster It Runs

Wye Oak

A shimmering, polyrhythmic evolution where jagged guitars meet maximalist synths. Dense, restless, and beautifully precise art-rock for the modern age.

April 6, 2018 · Merge Records

A high-stakes balance of existential anxiety and soaring, melodic triumph.

Moments Worth Listening For
The title track's explosive transition from a skittering, anxious beat into a soaring, wide-screen synth chorus.
The way the percussion on 'Symmetry' mimics a ticking clock before dissolving into a lush, harmonic wash.
The sudden, jagged guitar solo that cuts through the electronic haze of 'The Instrument' like a lightning strike.
