On September 25, Merge will release “Curtain” b/w “Apparition,” the second in a series of
7-inch singles from Flock of Dimes, the solo project of Wye
Oak’s Jenn Wasner. Limited to 1,000 copies, each 7-inch
includes a download coupon for both tracks.
Stream & share Flock of Dimes' "Curtain" now via the Merge SoundCloud page
Jenn launched Flock of Dimes in 2011 as a way to explore more experimental recording and songwriting outside of the burgeoning success of Wye Oak. A tour opening for Sharon Van Etten followed, and a debut 7-inch, “Prison Bride” b/w “I Can’t Tell You Why (screwed mix),” was released by Baltimore-based Friends Records in April of 2011. There are more singles planned as part of this series, but a full-length is not yet on the horizon.
“These two songs function as a pair of opposites: ‘Curtain’ documents the thoughtless, obsessed joy of new love, whereas ‘Apparition’ attempts to catch sight of the ghosts it leaves behind in the wake of its absence,” says Jenn.
Produced and realized with the help of Mickey Free, “Curtain” b/w “Apparition” features a beautiful cover photograph by Matthew Yake.
Flock of Dimes will perform at a free Hopscotch Festival day part on September 7 in Raleigh, NC and has more tour dates planned for later this year. Wye Oak just finished a tour with Dirty Projectors, and have announced headlining dates beginning in September. Keep up with Jenn and Flock of Dimes via Twitter and flockofdimes.com
