Baltimore indie folk duo Wye Oak delivers its third release My Neighbor/My Creator less than one year after the much praised The Knot, which was easily one of my favorites from 09. My Neighbor/My Creator is a vibrant 5 track EP that brims with melody and features a few choice older tracks and a couple new tunes, including DJ Mickey Free rapping on the last track. Collaborating with external producers for the first time, Jenn Wasner and Andy Stack’s new songs feel loose and direct, from the tumbling opener “My Neighbor” to the energetic “Emmylou.” The combination of Wye Oak’s honeyed vocals, the lush, strummed guitar and electronic flourishes is instantly likeable. – Written by JFelton
