Tween is the fifth studio album by indie band Wye Oak. It was released digitally on June 9, 2016 by Merge Records in the United States.[1] The physical album was officially released on August 5, 2016.[2]
Tween is unique in that all the songs were "written, scrapped, and re-purposed" by Wye Oak in between the years 2011 and 2014. Therefore, the tracks for the album are all remnants from their past albums Civilian and Shriek.[3]
