VIMTV Album Review #304: Wye Oak – Civilian

Jake: Highly Recommended, 94/100

Tom: Highly Recommended, 87/100

Overview: We found Wye Oak’s Civilian to be one of the most engaging albums to come out so far in 2011. Every song on this album is well-written and captures a mood, which builds throughout the track. There is a dark and mystical quality to this album that is simply alluring, and we bet it will have listeners coming back regularly and with little complaint.
