Listen | North Carolina duo WYE OAK release ‘Every Day Like The Last’

WYE OAK, the duo of Jenn Wasner and Andy Stack, announced the arrival of “Every Day Like The Last”, a collection of songs and previous singles alongside the title track.

The nine songs on the record mark the transition period for the duo, allowing them the opportunity to put a decade of hard work behind them and return to the songwriting basics they started with.

“This song is about the sacrifices we make for love, companionship, and community. Human beings are messy, and yet—we need each other. The quality of our relationships determines the quality of our lives. But for all of us, and especially for those of us whose formative relationships were not so simple—alone can feel like the safest place to be. This song is about learning how to relax into imperfection, release the impulse to control, and accept the reality that life is brief and always ending, so we might as well have some company.”

A visual accompaniment has also come out, with the band adding further thoughts about how the song details the “sacrifices” that people make for relationships even though the human race is unpredictable and yet dependent on one another.
