Even reasonably ...

... Frightening how often one is forced literally in the last few days to use Liam Gallagher as a stylistic device a review. Well, with Beady Eye naturally was not a living but that it forces you even with Radiohead and, currently here, the wonderful Noisefolkduo Wye Oak from Baltimore in the ring, but one should make us think. In an interview with the network platform The Quietus, the man made his thoughts on recent namely Thom Yorke's latest work accustomed clamoring air: "I Heard That f * Radiohead record and I just go, 'What ?!' I like to think did what we do, we do f * well. Them writing a song about af * tree? Give me af * break! A thousand year old tree? Go f * yourself! "

Lack of clarity can not accuse him in any case, even if it would be good to have the brain one way or another turn more - so be it. Now you wonder perhaps what Mr. Gallagher thinks of Wye Oak, because Jenn Wasner and Andy Stack have immortalized their love of old giant trees in the same band name. A review of "Civilian" can, of course, which is now no big surprise, anyway also the form which it has not so with millennial, gnarled deep or shallow rooting.

That Wye Oak celebrate a pleasant rarely heard mix of delicate, berückendem Folk and bone-breaking blues guitar on her third album now, she does anyway more than just interesting. After a more traditional, low-key entry on fluffy Midlake paths skin a mighty "Holy Holy" literally from the mountain pines. A reef, as it could not be better milling Thurston Moore, opened a - at least once this year - new anthem of indie rock. In "Dogs Eyes" there's a similar dry guitar board, but in the interplay with a rather spun-friendly melody. In the title piece, so beautiful that it hurts almost hit a hard scribed the strings like a surprising yet welcome downpour.

More of it, "Plains" and "Hot As Day" - also at Wye Oak has one, similarly here the White Stripes or the Black Keys, feel that they are able to achieve a second so high degree of diversity, complexity and power that would more staff destroy this spell inevitably. And in the end succeed in twos then as an acoustic magic piece (Doubt): "If You Should doubt my heart, remember this, That I would lie to you if I Believed it was right to do ..." Without a doubt, this is a entirely become magnificent plate, and what Liam Gallagher will say is - you guessed it - does not really matter ...
