Dig into The Saturday Alternative playlist! The Fitting Room album was The Louder I Call, The Faster It Runs by Wye Oak – out now on Merge Records.
Jenn Wasner and Andy Stack are no longer Baltimore residents, but the spirit of sonic adventure that resonates throughout Baltimore’s music scene is still resonant within them, perhaps more than ever before, as evident by the boundless creative energy that we hear on their new album, The Louder I Call, The Faster It Runs. With Jenn now based in Durham, NC and Andy in Marfa, TX, the two worked on much of the album together from afar, and made the conscious decision to throw their own rules out the window and do what felt right for each of them in the moment, including bringing other musicians into the fold. The new album is bold, confident and bursting with life and emotion, and a sense that they’re still very much excited by the music they’re making together over a decade into their career.
