Wye Oak's sixth album, The Louder I Call, the Faster It Runs, came out digitally on Merge Records on April 6, 2018, the Baltimore duo's step between Tween and No Horizon. It's still just Jenn Wasner on vocals and guitars and Andy Stack on drums and keys, Stack working the kit with his feet and right hand while his left hand covers the bass lines, and somehow two people make a sound this wide.
This is where their dream pop grows real muscle, hazy melodies riding firm, insistent beats, and that pairing is exactly what critics praised. The orchestral "My Signal" had reviewers hearing Björk in Wasner's phrasing. The title track, which later turned up on the countdowns, arrived with a video of the pair roaming New Mexico's White Sands National Monument, trailed by mirage copies of themselves, and "It Was Not Natural" got a video of its own in May.
