Baltimore two-piece Wye Oak (Jenn Wasner and Andy Stack) will release their fourth full-length studio album April 29 on Merge Records. The album will be available for pre-order beginning today at iTunes with an instant download of the first single “The Tower”. Also, an exclusively designed t-shirt will be bundled with the album for those that pre-order the record directly from Merge Records.
Shriek will be released on CD, digital and 150 gram vinyl with the first 1000 copies pressed on orange vinyl. Yesterday, NPR’s All Songs Considered Podcast unveiled the first track “The Tower”.
