Wye Oak

Description:

Spin (p.85) - "The title track brings it all together -- a spooky, pretty lament that builds, improbably, to a shivering climax of Neil Young-ish guitar squall..." Uncut (p.103) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[Wye Oak] have raised their game with this third LP, awash with beguiling harmonies and folk-shoegaze textures." Alternative Press (p.122) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[E]pic and assured....It's impressively well-wrought music..." Magnet (p.42) - Ranked #8 in Magnet's '20 Best Albums Of 2011' -- "[T]he album conjures active and powerful emotions....CIVILIAN leaves a distinct sensation of melancholy reserved for those of us with an abiding sense of aloneness." CMJ - "CIVILIAN's sound is round, with each component blending into the other rather than one dominating the rest....The music definitely gives a feeling of relaxation, but it also has a haunting quality that doesn't allow for complete comfort."
