The Louder I Call, the Faster It Runs is the sixth studio album by indie band Wye Oak. It was released digitally on April 6, 2018 by Merge Records in the United States. [1] [2]
On the day of the album's release, Wye Oak debuted the music video for the album title track "The Louder I Call, The Faster it Runs". The video was filmed by Dan Huiting, edited by Daniel Murphy, and included styling by Dear Hearts. The music video features Wasner and Stack wandering White Sands National Monument in New Mexico with various editing techniques to make it appear Wasner and Stack have mirages of themselves following them. [3] [4]
A second video directed by Dan Huiting was launched on May 9, 2018 for the track "It Was Not Natural". The music video features Wasner singing in a house and forest alongside faceless dancing figures.
