It’s incredible to see a two-person indie band flourish as much as Wye Oak, whose members have used the recording studio to their advantage to make quite a lot of noise on their sophomore album, The Knot. It’s even more incredible to find out this band can make the same amount of noise live in concert, and make it sound just as good, without a back-up band. A person may wonder how this is possible, and that is precisely the source of wonderment and passion behind this album.
