With its headquarters nestled in Durham, North Carolina, Merge Records has become a renowned name in the music industry.

What began as a humble endeavor quickly flourished into something much greater. Today, Merge Records boasts an impressive roster of artists spanning various genres and backgrounds. From indie rock to experimental pop, *Superchunk* paved the way for other talented musicians to join forces under this esteemed label's umbrella.

Baltimore indie folk rock duo, Wye Oak, takes their name from the honorary state tree of Maryland. Originally formed as "Monarch" in mid-2006, the band consists of Andy Stack on drums, keyboards, and backup vocals, and Jenn Wasner on vocals and guitars.

Originally released March 2011, Wye Oak’s third album celebrates 10 years in 2021. Civilian is the band’s highest selling and most widely recognized album. To be frank, it's also their best thus far.
