DISAPPEAR BEFORE DAWN // Vol. Two
Here’s another little playlist/mixtape that i had recently posted on Instagram. It’s sort of a continuation of the mix that I posted a couple of days back. Once again, think of it as an autumnal primer. Something to listen to as the leaves shift colors and fall away. Once again, this one was put together at Spotify, so you can stream this collection over there. Enjoy!

Please support the artists that you find and enjoy. Buy their music, merchandise and tickets to see their shows. Supporting them is the only purpose in doing this blog. Contrary to the opinions of some, music blogs are a great way to discover new music, but there will only be so much new music to go around if these artists can’t afford to support themselves through their art and commerce. Only use these mixtapes as a guide to find something to throw your (financial and emotional) support behind.

VANS HOUSE PARTIES | WYE OAK
House of Vans Chicago welcomed indie rockers, Wye Oak to this week’s Vans House Parties. Wye Oak made up of Andy Stack and Jenn Wasner, got their start in the Baltimore underground scene back in 2006. The duo played all over town building an audience and independently released their debut album If Children in 2007. All that hard work paid off, and in 2008 Wye Oak landed a record deal with indie darling Merge Records. Merge re-released If Children and the band got working on new music.
Despite being a duo at the forefront, Stack, and Wasner take advantage of all their talents incorporating drums, keys, guitars, vocals and bass, and sometimes friends to help round out the set. Their sound is layered pulling in influences from rock, folk and dream pop. Earlier this year they released a one-off single “Evergreen” that examines the plight of self-doubt and depression. Wasner sings, “Tell me what is missing in my mind/ I feel the problem is essential/ Its memory/ Is blackening my mind/ I’m taking everything back/ Evergreen.” In a Tweet with the song’s premiere, the band described the track as, “sonic documentation of my seasonal depression.”
Wye Oak is set to play MG30 Festival this July to celebrate Merge Records’ 30th anniversary in Carrboro, North Carolina. Grab your tickets here.
