Brightest Young Things

Our full on girl crush on Jenn Wasner from WYE OAK has been well documented on these pages. To quote: make no mistake about the force of Wesner’s guitar playing: she attacks her guitar, the chords growing louder as her head bobs and body convulses as if channeling a minor seizure.  She is the heart of the music.

And it turns out she's been busy making music ALSO under the alias Flock of Dimes.

What to expect:

• Ethereal sounds
• just a hint of soul
• and Wasner's strong vocals
• and a cover of The Eagles’ “I Can’t Tell You Why,” which City Paper just described as sounding like "chillwave via Sade"

making Flock of Dimes more than your run-of-the-mill side project. This is a full-fledged act, and Wasner is one very busy woman.

So listen to these jams:
Prison Bride by Flock of Dimes
icy by Flock of Dimes

and tonight you get to see her in action @ BLACK CAT. Doors @ 8. Foul Swoops and Other Colors Open. $10
