On April 29, pop duo Wye Oak will release their new album Shriek via Merge. The album marks an expanded sound from the group, which they explore in a new video for "The Tower."

The song combines a pulsing acoustic guitar with some dreamlike synths. The accompanying video, on the other hand, is both playful and humourous as two painters prance and dance through a city, coating themselves in paint and eventually meeting up with some hospital staff, who join them in a heavily choreographed dance.
