Idolator-beloved Baltimore duo Wye Oak–p.k.a. Idolator-beloved Baltimore duo Monarch–had their debut album If Children reissued by Merge Records this week, and you should buy it if the idea of “an indiepop record that’s equal parts mid-’90s K Records and shoegaze” pushes your buttons like it does mine. And! Those of you who have had If Children since its original release will be delighted to hear this live set of theirs, which features a few new songs. It’s like Christmas in April, except with a blog post from last month! [Aural States; HT Al Shipley; Photo Nikola Tamindzic]

It sure does. Thanks.
Oh, that’s good stuff. I almost let the disc get lost in the shuffle this week. Thanks for making me dig it out.
Also, judging by the photo, I think the drummer has my old kit.
Wye Oak is definitely the coolest band I’ve heard in a while.
But I’m also getting old.
There was one new song they played last night, I don’t think it’s in those recordings, that was so ridiculously good, it’s gonna be painful waiting for them to release a 2nd album. Much respect to Jeff Mewbourn for taping so many of their shows: [baltimore-taper.blogspot.com]
