Wye Oak - Holy Holy free download

It's Friday, so time to welcome the weekend with a bit of Wye Oak. We like to give you stuff on a Friday, but this week it's not just a stream - you can download Holy Holy for free from City Slang's SoundCloud page.

Those of you who read my review of Wye Oak's album Civilian, released in early March, will know that I reported a disc of surprises and stark variety - so every preview counts, if you're considering buying the album!

See what you think of Holy Holy and hey, even if it's not for you, it's still a free track at the end of the day (and the end of the week...).

Wye Oak - Civilian, out March 7th

If you're eagerly awaiting the March 7th release of Civilian, the new album from Wye Oak, we have a sneak preview for you. This is an acoustic performance of the haunting title track, which cuts to the very core of the album's themes of aloneness and letting go. Take a look at the video below and crank up your excitement about the impending release of Civilian by one more notch.

Wye Oak - Civilian

Ever since featuring the title track from Wye Oak's upcoming album Civilian on the POPSICULTURE Advent Calendar, I've been itching to hear the full disc. I finally got my review copy a week ago but, apart from a quick listen through, I've been so busy with 80s movies that I haven't quite got around to reviewing it.

So, as it's Valentine's Day and I'm so booked up with romantic meals, I thought I'd put that to rights and let you all know what I think of Civilian - I can honestly say, for no reason I can quite put my finger on, I've been awaiting this one slightly more eagerly than usual.
