Wye Oak - Civilian
[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

I don’t need another friend
When most of them
I can barely keep up with
I’m perfectly able to hold my own hand,
but I still can’t kiss my own neck

I honestly don’t have a problem with discovering a band on their third album because it means that I can go through their older stuff and it will hold me off until the next release. At which point I can claim that I was a fan from the start listen to it on day one and be happy.

Listening to Civilian by Wye Oak makes both the alt/indie rocker in me dance alongside the dreampop/shoegaze fan. And while that may be a very specific genre, it excites me a lot.

There’s not much I can say about this album that will do it much service, all I can say is: Play this song loud.
