Boy, do I love Jenn Wasner! I’ve been hooked on her music since first seeing Wye Oak years ago at SXSW. She has a commanding presence onstage and her songs are powerful in their raw minimalism. Wasner has teamed up with Jon Ehrens of White Life to form the band Dungeonesse, who will release their debut LP on Secretly Canadian on May 14th. Leaving behind her dark, electric folk style, Wasner finds ground to explore greater vocal dexterity and put her excellent voice to use among the soundscape of electric loops and synthetic beats. Dungeonesse has now released two songs from the forthcoming record. You can stream “Shucks” below as well as watch the video for “Drive You Crazy.” Though less star-studded, the nature of the stylistic shifts and collaboration for these artists reminds me of the Postal Service. Can’t Wait for the album.
