Wye Oak w/ Other Colors 7/5/12 The Space Hamden CT

Other Colors, from Baltimore was a pop trio. Drums, bass, 8-string looping guitar and vocals. Tight song structure but these guys were young. Many songs in the high vocal register will a problem as these lads age, but good for them for living in the moment. Wye Oak are a duo. Guy on drums,synths, and sometimes bass. Girl on looping 12-string and vocals. These two got a lot of noise out, but the songs seemed repetitive. Sing, shred, sing again was their m.o. I liked their newer material. They got a "request" for an older song that sounded....old, like before they got good. I give them props, no a/c at the Space makes a July event with a capacity crowd a sweatbox they did well to not melt before our eyes.
