Jenn Wasner of Wye Oak has enthralled us with her various other projects, like Flock of Dimes, and her current role as a member of Bon Iver’s touring band. But what has the other half of Wye Oak been up to? Andy Stack has an ongoing solo project too, named Joyero. He unleashed his solo debut album Release The Dogs back in August, and now he’s followed it up with a fantastic tune off a split 7″ from Merge Records’ subscription service, Born Under A Good Sign. The tracks off the 7″ were originally out as vinyl-only releases, but to benefit Honor The Earth, a Native American environmental organization, Merge has unveiled digital versions of the songs. Evacuate is a gauzy psych pop and hazy indietronica song that Joyero wrote in North Carolina during a hurricane. It’s notched and restless, an enduring swathe of textured warbles and whirs with the spacey curls of Tame Impala and the glazed whiskers of Porches. Sharing the 7″ with Joyero is Washington, D.C.’s Gauche and their new song Body Count, which you can stream on Bandcamp, here. Evacuate is also available via Bandcamp, here.
