FLOCK OF DIMES shares new single 'Semaphore'. Debut LP due Sept 23rd via Partisan Records!


Wye Oak vocalist & guitarist shares first single from debut LP, due Sept 23rd via Partisan Records!

Flock Of Dimes, aka Jenn Wasner (Wye Oak, Dungeonesse), shares the first track, 'Semaphore,' off her debut full-length album If You See Me, Say Yes coming out September 23rd on Partisan Records. This track is the first glimpse of a record that is the culmination of Wasner's many years of work crafting her distinct blend of electro-acoustic pop music - forward thinking, emotionally resonant, and stylistically unparalleled.

A year ago, Wasner left her native Baltimore and started anew in Durham, North Carolina. She left the place she grew up, her family, and a community--where she started Wye Oak with Andy Stack--that shaped and loved her.  

On If You See Me, Say Yes, you can feel the intensity of this moment and it's one we can all relate to - when you're poised on the precipice, diving into the new while looking back at what you left behind.   So many of these new songs are built around these ecstatic moments when it feels like something is spilling open, or breaking through. 

You can feel it on the cosmic dance-dream of "Minor Justice" to the soaring reassurance of "Everything Is Happening Today." From "Birthplace" to no place at all, from a deep history to a future in flux.  Or "Semaphore," a song Jenn describes as "communication over great distances--both literal, physical distance and the infinite space that exists between even the closest of people."

Across all of her projects Jenn balances experimentation with craft, unafraid to be vulnerable-- from 10+ years co-creating the novel, guitar-driven Wye Oak repertoire (including last month's surprise-released Tween), to purposefully putting out several 2-at-a-time 7 inches as Flock Of Dimes, or exploring electronic textures as Dungeonesse.

Wasner wrote, performed, and self-produced the record, with help from frequent collaborators Mickey Freeland in Baltimore and Aaron Roche in NYC. It was mixed in Dallas by John Congleton (St. Vincent, Angel Olsen).

She will kick off a North American tour as Flock Of Dimes this fall, playing her newly revealed signature Reverend guitar, the JW-1 - all confirmed dates below and here.
