Joyero: Release the Dogs Read More Wye Oak Wye Oak will be returning in 2014 with a brand new yet-untitled album from Merge Records, the follow-up to their 2011's Civilian. Singer Jenn Wasner talked to Spin Magazine about the new album…

JOYERO
mergerecords.com/joyero

Joyero is the new project from Andy Stack (the founding member of rock duo Wye Oak). His solo debut record Release the Dogs is out now on Merge Records. Personally speaking, I’m not that surprised, considering that the other half of Wye Oak, Jenn Wasner has her own project with Flock of Dimes… so that probably left Stack with a little time on his hands to produce this solo album.

Check out Joyero’s music video for “Dogs” on youtube.com.
