Awww yeah! Get ready, geeks and nerds, because the mighty titans of Wye Oak are back. On a clear summer’s night, the night of June 8 to be exact, the Baltimore slowcore warriors will raise their enchanted hammers high and let out an ear-splitting cry to the heavens above. As the mystical wail reverberates around the earth, a new Wye Oak EP, My Neighbor/My Creator, will descend, a gift from the celestial bodies that overlook our pitiful world. The EP will then fall into the hands of record merchants, be they of the physical or online worlds, for us puny mortals to purchase.
When they’re not challenging the gods to epic battles, Wye Oak are usually busy doing things like covering The Kinks’ “Strangers” for earthly publication The AV Club. In an act of astounding kindness for godlike beings, Wye Oak extended an offer to Shearwater’s Johnathan Meiburg, who is but a mere mortal. Or so they think! Turns out Meiburg was bitten by a god at a young age, making him a weregod! Shock! Gasp! Ridiculous!
