Wye Oak share new song via Adult Swim Singles
Adult Swim Singles have teamed with Durham-based indie duo Wye Oak to offer up the 25th installment of the current program. “Evergreen” marks the first song the band have written after a year of extensive touring in support of last year’s The Louder I Call, The Faster It Runs, their fifth album for long-time label Merge Records. In keeping with the group’s perpetual forward motion, Wye Oak’s Jenn Wasner states that “the song was made in an attempt to work a little differently- to ‘try softer,’ as my brilliant friend Lexie Mountain advised me,” and represents overcoming a physically and emotionally exhausting period of self-doubt. In a statement about the song, Wasner states “I understand intellectually that I have worth and value just by existing- that everyone does- but I’m beginning to realize that having an intellectual understanding doesn’t mean you’ve integrated that shit into your heart and mind and unconscious beliefs. Maybe I’ll never get there, but just trying (not too hard!) feels better than nothing at all. So it’s a start. Hope you enjoy.”
