Wye Oak (Andy Stack and Jenn Wasner) share “Half a Double Man,” the latest from their upcoming 10-year anniversary double-LP reissue, Civilian + Cut All the Wires: 2009–2011, to be released October 22. The deluxe vinyl reissue looks back into the band’s pivotal release Civilian and also includes a lost album of unreleased tracks and demos from the era of its creation. 

Of “Half a Double Man,” Wasner says, “I think this song is about (it was over 10 years ago, after all) coming to the realization that you can never fully satisfy all the parts of yourself simultaneously, especially when they are at odds with one another. The best you can hope for is some sort of half-reconciliation, a truce that exists in that place of: not everything, but just enough.”

The Civilian + Cut All the Wires: 2009–2011 deluxe double LP is pressed on green swirl vinyl housed in a gatefold jacket that features each album’s cover when flipped. Pre-order your copy today.
