Jenn Wasner's Keyboards and Synthesizers

Hide incorrect submissions

In this 2021 Reddit AMA Jenn talks about gear on the Head of Roses album:

Synth-wise, this is the session where I fell absolutely in love with the Moog Matriarch, my favorite new synth in ages. It's both versatile and limited, so it's a total idea factory. Such a huge percentage of the synth sounds on the record came from here.

Used for Shriek and The Louder I Call, The Faster It Runs, as stated in this May 12, 2014 Vox interview and this April 9, 2018 Music Radar interview, respectively.

Vox, "'I got stoned and took a shower': How Wye Oak writes its songs" by Dylan Matthews (May 12, 2014)

Dylan Matthews: You're starting to work with synths for the first time in Wye Oak in a really big way, and some people at least tend to get very passionate about their gear. Did you? How'd you go about choosing equipment?

Jenn Wasner: Honestly, I've never been the person that is very insistent about the purity of the source. I think if something sounds good and it sounds right and it sounds interesting to me, I don't care where it came from. A lot of the stuff on our record came from beautiful, pristine, gorgeous analog synthesizers but a lot of it's just weird soft synth MIDI shit, too. [...] Going back to what you were asking, as far as synthesizers themselves, I have a Juno 6 that I got a lot of the initial sounds from, but just as many of the sounds came from samples and soft synths and stuff like that. I'm not one of those picky gearheads, to answer your question.

Music Radar, "Wye Oak's Jenn Wasner: 'With a guitar you can make it into anything you want. It’s endlessly variable'" by Matt Parker (April 9, 2018)

“Right now, I have a three-bedroom house and one of the bedrooms is a mini studio, so I’ve got my drum kit, a whole array of synths… On this record, it was mainly my [Roland] Juno-6, and I was using my friend Nick’s Prophet 6 a ton. I have a whole host of drum machines, pedals, etc.
