Wye Oak "Shriek: Variations"
Wye Oak celebrate the 10th anniversary of Shriek with Shriek: Variations, a 2-LP gatefold set that joins the fan-favorite album with Variations, five cuts reimagined by GRAMMY-nominated composer William Brittelle and recorded by Wye Oak and the Metropolis Ensemble. If Shriek is a record that charts the depths of solemnity and inner space, its Variations, roiling in a sea of winds, brass, and strings, recolors that space and complicates it, a gorgeous, unexpected response to the original’s siren call.
