Wye Oak’s TV Eye Is Trained Upon You
I’m finding it hard to say much about the video for “Please Concrete” by the Baltimore duo Wye Oak, mainly because I’m struck by its almost-scary resemblance so many daydreams I had as a solitary, sorta-sickly young girl, right down to the muted fall colors. (Sure, the shoegazy indiepop twosome is something of a House Band for this here site, but I didn’t think that would give them a line in to my childhood memories!) Anyway, I suppose “childlike reverie” is kind of a nice thing to be plunged into on a day when the world seems to be going even crazier than usual, right? Ha ha. [Pitchfork.TV]
