"It’s heavily skewed towards the penis-having side of the musical world," Jenn Wasner says of the tradition of naming a guitar after a (typically male) artist, an honor recently bestowed upon her when Reverend Guitars created the JW-1. Wasner, one-half of the band Wye Oak and now the sole writer, instrumentalist and singer of the solo project Flock of Dimes, stopped by Soul Sisters to talk about her stellar new LP If You See Me, Say Yes (Sept. 23).
"I already have this reputation of, 'All those bands! Why do you do that?'" she admits while explaining how simply following what compels her artistically can sometimes come off as impetuous.
"I know a lot of people who think I’m flaky, unpredictable…you know, that’s not my f-ing concern," she insists.
