These shorter stints together produced less second-guessing and hesitation in their process, yielding an unabashed and unapologetic Wye Oak. They discarded past rules about how to write a record, instead funneling all those experiences and experiments into perfectly unified statements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result is the biggest, broadest, boldest music Wye Oak has ever made. \u003ci\u003eLouder\u003c\/i\u003e pursues a litany of modern malaises, each of its dozen tracks diligently addressing a new conflict and pinning it against walls of sound, with the song’s subject and shape inextricably and ingeniously linked. It arrives at a time of immense doubt, when our personal problems are infinitely compounded by a world that seems in existential peril. But these songs answer the challenge by radiating self-reflection and resolve, wielding hooks and musical intricacy as a shield against the madness of the moment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"merge records","offers":[{"title":"Peak Vinyl","offer_id":52739213754679,"sku":"MRG615lp-C1","price":22.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP","offer_id":52739213721911,"sku":"MRG615LP","price":21.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":52739213787447,"sku":"MRG615CD","price":14.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Download","offer_id":52739213820215,"sku":"MRG615digital","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/3935\/3143\/files\/368106a5f1ab86fd58c9cd84554abe4c4b7a00ff_04d11b94a874d10022c682aa91c05d60129f5de9_medium_jpg_cd688c95-5874-4e52-b006-b09e10346791.jpg?v=1789600411","url":"https:\/\/mergerecords.com\/products\/wye-oak-the-louder-i-call-the-faster-it-runs","provider":"Merge Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
