Wye Oak‘s album Shriek is out now on Merge Records, and today we take a peek at the band’s new video for the track “Glory“. With brilliant concept and art direction from Ashley North Compton, she teams up with director of photography Michael Patrick O’Leary to craft perfectly stylized visuals that feature things like: a sisterly gaggle of similarly clad young women, dripping cones of ice cream and smoking cigarettes, potted flowers, pink “bee-stung” lips, and little golden balls! The imagery here is straight out of a dream of “corrupting” innocence, and each surreal tableau seems rife with charged, iconic symbolism! Wye Oak kicks off an extensive US tour tomorrow at Mr. Small’s Theatre in Millvale, PA, wrapping things up late in July at Merge’s 25 Year celebration. You can check all the dates below…
