Ahead of Wye Oak’s debut online concert next week, the Durham-via-Baltimore duo are sharing a new single and music video! On “Its Way With Me,” Jenn Wasner and Andy Stack knowingly revel in the unknown, with Wasner gazing “to the warmth of a future I cannot see” as Stack’s polyrhythms propel the song to powerful heights. The song’s equally gorgeous video, a single uninterrupted shot by Spence Kelly (who created the video for last month’s “TNT”), is a must-watch featuring Wasner and a bunch of helpful hands.
Here’s Jenn Wasner on “Its Way With Me”:
This song is about surrender—about learning to feel at peace amidst the chaos of existence through letting go of all that is beyond our control. It’s about the fact that change and loss are inseparable from one another, and about trying to have faith in a more peaceful and equitable future, even when the specific details of what that might look like are beyond our imagining.
On Thursday, July 1, at 8pm ET, Wye Oak will debut their first online concert! Captured at Durham’s NorthStar Church of the Arts, the virtual session features Jenn Wasner and Andy Stack in classic Wye Oak duo formation, performing material across their impeccable discography. Get your tickets here.
