Wye Oak return with new single 'TNT'

Following on from the release of their much-loved EP 'No Horizons' near the end of last year, Wye Oak have now returned to deliver a brand new single.

The new track 'TNT' marks their first piece of new material so far this year, and is set to be the first of two new cuts from the group arriving in the coming months.

Speaking about the new offering, the band's Jenn Wasner said, “TNT” is about the changing of the seasons, and using the passing of time as a means of reflecting on your own growth. It’s about joyfully acknowledging all of the ways in which you’ve grown while trying to accept the parts of yourself that are still stuck in patterns of repetition. And it’s about learning to see outside of the more superficial parts of your personality in order to attempt to understand the other, and reach some kind of equilibrium in spite of how different we all can be."

While Andy Stack added, “We wanted the visuals to capture the cyclical and disorienting qualities of time that come up in the song. We played with some spatial and time effects, and left the camera running on the mirrors which were fabricated by our friend Jason at Night Owl Creations.”
