ÉîÒ¹¸£Àû's Songs We Love Podcast

is a series and a podcast that looks at the stories behind some of the songs we're playing on our new music discovery stream, .

This time, Eric Hodge chats with Wye Oak's Jenn Wasner about the title track from their latest record, 'The Louder I Call, The Faster It Runs.'

She says the song has different meanings for different people, and that duality fueled her creative process.

'It instantly occured to me that that duality is a perfect representation of the twin poles of anxiety that anchor this record.'
