New Flock of Dimes Single

"Curtain"

Wye Oak singer / guitarist Jenn Wasner also performs solo as Flock of Dimes.  She'll be releasing her latest single "Curtain" b/w "Apparition" on 9/25 via Merge.

Wye Oak's Civilian was one of my favorite records from 2011.  One of the reasons for that was Wasner's beautifully haunting voice.  "Curtain" is a definite departure from Wye Oak's 90's indie rock sound, but it's a pleasure to listen to Wasner in any style.  The more upbeat of the two songs on the single according to Merge's website, "Curtain" features a soaring, swirling melody to complement Wasner's vocals.



Oh, and for me, no mention of Jenn Wasner or Wye Oak would be complete without a link to the band's excellent cover of Danzig's "Mother" over at A.V. Undercover.
