Wye Oak (née Monarch) is a duo of Jenn Wasner and Andy Stack, formed in mid-2006.
Wasner and Stack have been playing music together and apart in Baltimore, MD, and chose their name from the honorary state tree of Maryland. If Children is the culmination of many months of recording, polishing and perfecting to achieve what Any Given Tuesday best described as, “. .. . mingling in a room full of shoegaze, alt-country, folk, and noise, shaking hands, kissing cheeks, and making friends with everyone.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

I am playing a part, again. Surrender and begin Still clinging to my skin, Your skin.
FG Watch the leader depart and wait, C9Am/C The truth within the hour, The whole of it is ours to make FGC9Am/C So the logic of color is all the logic of my skin, the color of my eyes, our eyes FGC9 Understand it requires belief. The language that I know Am/C Is written for the wise, the weak
F Talk to me and I’ll talk back C9 Let’s lock eyes here in real time F Your illogical device C9 My impossible demand
FG Everything that you see is free C9Am/C And so is what I made And so is what I claim to be FG When the two are apart it lives C9Am/C And nothing is begun But when we are as one it gives
F Give to me and I’ll give back C9 Let’s lock eyes here in real time F Your illogical device C9 My illegible command
(same verse chords) So the logic of color is all The logic of my skin The color of your eyes Our eyes So the logic of color is all The logic of my skin The color of my eyes Our eyes So the logic of color is all The logic of my skin The color of your eyes Our eyes So the logic of color is all The logic of my skin And the color of your eyes Our eyes
