Wye Oak's album Civilian was named the best album of 2011 by The A.V. Club,[3] and was featured on television in the popular series The Walking Dead and in the film Safety Not Guaranteed.
Stack's debut solo record as Joyero, "Release The Dogs" was released in August 2019 via Merge Records, with accompanying tours in the United States and Europe.
