Is this the bandwagon? Can I hop aboard?

[mpadijr]

Great Band! You guys are amazing! Come to Brazil!

[a1117100]

Awesome song. It's great to discover new music as good as this.

[jennyxosweety]

Can anyone else understand what she is saying? Sounds like she mumbles in every song. I like the music though.

[smokingspades12]

HIDE UNDER THE CARS

[Down2brown]

Thumbs up if the Walking Dead brought you here!

[BlackSkeletonParade]

@Down2brown Hell yea!! They always have a good soundtrack. Thats two songs from this show now that i like.. Three if i could find out the name of it XD

[carlo88moe]

@Down2brown WD brought me to "civilian" which then led me to check out their albums, which brought me here...so i guess yeah, indirectly

[TheKewlbeanz83]

:) love this tune

[Derekmf23]

holy holy holy cow this song is cool.

[thegodshills]

Brilliant! Hopefully that ending was on a loop

[newwavedave67]

[crybabies4]

she seems like jared leto..gosh

[MsOinkk]

these ads give me the shits

[dobberdoss]

I love how in certain scenes they are desperately trying to contain their fear on the rides

[OffensiveDriving13]

Anyone else notice the bump on her forehead above her left eyebrow?

[ogpakika15]

this is so good

[nbarrasse]

I hear similarity between this and the distillers the hunger

[jackinhoization]

fucking



[deadpeasantmoon]

Allen Ginsberg?

[dairylandbogurt]

@deadpeasantmoon Lol that's random.... Howl, good poem

[jelainegin]

God I love Wye Oak! All of the songs I've bought so far have been... just fantastic.

[alexgardiner]

My song of the year for 2011. Thanks Wye Oak.

[MyInvisibleEye]

Great band. Seeing them live is out of this world. Long live Wye Oak!!

[xXxTwiggyzLovexXx]

Best fucking song I've discovered this year, truly.

[cameroooon89]

Is anyone else curious about that bump on her head? 0:25

[loveslashdeath]

@cameroooon89 Yeah, I know. Idk what the story behind that is, but i think she had it for a while and that's why she's always wearing bangs

[interpolluter29]

I feel like a lost moron for sleeping on this band.

[HorribleSonofa]

Glasses Dude seems lost. Could someone please page his mother?

[JerseyMcgee81]

great transgressions in this song how the pace changes, then you get that barrage at the end and her voice is very haunting good stuff ..

[crookedtimber30]

damn that's a big bump reminds me of Van Dame haa

[crookedtimber30]

this is my Favorite song of 2011, fun video it's totally going on my favorites....(Civilian is My Favorite Album of 2011)

[TheOnomatopoeicMan]

I'm sure John Peel is enjoying listening to this

[starphaser]

fantastic! amazing band!

[lylymons]

omg

[jessemaurais]

Anyone else notice that bump at 3:10

Maybe she smacked her head on the handlebar.

[zimbo24560]

That's Love around the cornershop very elegant music special to be in a second magic

[GodfatherThe10]

Amazing band.... love em!

[TyMan1229]

Someone tell Andy his twin J.J. Abrams makes awesome movies

[klaxen13]

This song takes me places...

[Chikagba]

Wye Oak in Warriors territory equals PURE MAGIC

[iesus68]

I have seen them live in Milan last Friday and they are truly amazing. I think that Plains is my top song in 2011

[MrMuddyBleach]

Beautiful.

[pithikoulis]

She's trully beautiful!!

[SebbeGrishater]

@pithikoulis Mediocre, but hey, im from Sweden, another standard here i guess. ;)

[pithikoulis]

@SebbeGrishater I am also from Sweden, or at least half of me ;D I guess she is just very cute. However she has got an amazing voice and that makes her to a goddess!

[neonpike]

this is like getting a dvd and finding a load of advertising before youre allowed to watch it ... poxy ad men

[felipee911]

coney island :D

[GasparLewis]

@felipee911 So many bands shoot videos here (for good reason) it must be weird for some people to remember it's a real place. Goodbye Astroland, hello Luna Park; the freak show survives but the Thunderbolt's just a memory now. That sort of thing.

Great song/video, of course.

[dillsnufus]

Like the song hate the video. Should've been more performing the song and less this. You guys shine live.

[newwavedave67]

Awesome Sauce.!!! ;^) BTW. downsize government :)

[SierraRyanable]

How is he keeping his glasses on during the rollercoaster scenes? That said this song is awesome, this video is awesome.

[bradddtheimpaler]

Is anybody else wondering how she got that bump on her head?



[ThureSA1985]

@bradddtheimpaler A zombie from The Walking Dead hit her...

[hooman]

@bradddtheimpaler must have been a walker

[Nubias]

Fab. tune..

[roxxi182218]

this is so beautiful

[IronyTheOh]

i will NEVER forgive myself for missing the chance to see them with the national

[grandizer80]

discovered these guys at an opening gig for Explosions in the Sky. They were so loud and mesmerizing. I felt like I was watching the genesis of something big. Like catching the Beatles at the Cavern in the early 60's.

[AJandWrmyinitials]

126 likes, zero dislikes. As it should be.

[clickingsensorthing]

bahahahahahah the drummer is such space cadet. nice song.  I like how it turns at 3:20.

[sillygoose169]

i love this band and song with every fiber of my being. such a beautiful voice and fantastic instrumentation.

[paris4la]

what was the name of the song that they sanged on the carson daly show ? on about sept 27 2011

[kyoshizen1]

@paris4la They sang this song and Civilian, IIRC.

[havoable]

Amo esta cancion, esta hermosa genial todo ME ENCANTA!! es una de esas canciones que es verdadero arte, deberia ser mas conocida, amo esta banda ARRIBA WYE OAK espero algun dia verlos!! :)

Desde Morelia, Amo esta banda!!!

[raindance115]

Seriously this song should have more likes. Thumbs up If you agree Wye Oak is awesome.

[CBondraJr]

This is amazing. I can't believe this doesn't have more views, these guys are really talented. Living the dream.

[pureimaginationn]

gosh i love this. i love them. <3 other bands better take notes..

[QOTSAPT]

3,3 k views?! nowadays you really hve to break the MTV smoke screen to find something different, I wont call alternative cause that you know indie rock is not indie anymore its common therefore the definition of indie is not apliable, im digressing. im sure you understand so much more technology but nontheless you have to work hard to find what you like

[tuila]

@QOTSAPT Nowadays huh? Back in the 50's and 60's you had to pretty much find the bands yourself (go to gigs, buy a record on a whim etc.) to find music that wasn't mainstream. The mainstream was still mainstream in those times, even though it wasn't as commercial as it is at the moment. You can click browse, whereas the old generations had to sit next to the radio and hope, so stop whining. Good song by the way.

[QOTSAPT]

@tuila Nowadays?that why im so perplex, im saying that in the generation of tecnology we shouldnt have any trouble bypassing the comercial and mainstream still we do. I like to listen to different music why cant we find it easier some say too much competition, in my opinion its laizyness.

[broken13boy]

@QOTSAPT What are u talking about? MTV doesn't even play music videos enough for you to assert that. Replace Mtv with Fuse, and I would agree.

[QOTSAPT]

@broken13boy thats so right.

[dharmapunk777]

@QOTSAPT If it weren't for youtube and similar media it would be a lot..a LOT harder. These bands would get no exposure except from touring and word of mouth, little zine write ups and all that stuff that was awesome ten years ago.

[QOTSAPT]

@dharmapunk777 yes no doubt.every week I get 5 friend requests from bands asking to listen to their songs (obviously they send this msg to everyone). Now its the question to separate the wheat from the chaff, unfortunately we cant spend all our time doing that, fortunately sometimes we get lucky and find what or who we want to spend time with.

[Eyepiercings]

@QOTSAPT cut down on the weed bro

[tugamarado]

@QOTSAPT muito bem

[oliwa29]

@QOTSAPT MTV plays music?

[LOLinFEVER]

@QOTSAPT "oh god I called it indie before it went mainstream"

despite the 19 likes, that's how you sound. And, Indie wasn't a musical genre in the first place, just some random marketing abstraction to make money. Yea, 100% commercial but at least it brought some good music along its way

[QOTSAPT]

@LOLinFEVER Im just alerting as alot of people did in youtube that we need a real MusicTV rather than other MoneyTVs, I apologise if I sound arrogant it was just a personal badly script thought, and yes I like Indie just dont make it sound cool or hipster stuff just be real.

[LOLinFEVER]

@QOTSAPT people need what they want; your pretense on what's good isn't true and as many other things in life, a personal opinion

I tend to agree. MTV sucks balls with their silly excuse of 'music', but that's my opinion and I'm not gonna try to force it on someone who likes MTV. It's like a bible fight: no matter what, it's a pretty fucking stupid argument

[QOTSAPT]

@LOLinFEVER I agree with you I usually say exactly the same thing as you did and I hoped that my comment had been interpreted in the same way, people are free, still there is an absolute truth MTV only plays what they want to play they have the right to do it obviously but that may limit listeners ability to listen to different genres. I think people can only have educated opinions when they know what they are talking about, despite that no one has the right to trash anything.

[mcgutterbutt]

so flippin' good!

[Visvaldis100]

Beautiful video

[kgmtran]

She has a bump on the right side of her forehead.

[MetalMarine825]

@kgmtran Must have gotten knocked on the head with the camera or something during one of the first go-arounds on the roller coaster.

[creinstein]

shame andy had to sacrifice himself for the video

[chicobond89]

thumbs up if you heard it on esquire magazine website.

[kevinsmellls]

Adele's sister started a band with J.J. Abrams?

[Kevincnorton]

My wife and I saw you two at The Academy of Music in Philly on 9/8/11. Amazing! Thanks for the show!

[wrizzle]

most beautiful! May I have the chords to this song please?

[wherediputmyself]

I can't believe this was shot under $5,000. Awesome.

[ScarfoProductions]

Jeremy Johnstone is a straight pimp! great article on the making of this video at gizmodo...youtube doesn't allow links but go check it out
