Yeasayer has returned with their follow up to the stellar All Hour Cymbals ealier this year with their release of Odd Blood. It seems that this release has stirred some love/hate reactions around the web, but for myself I very strongly and clearly am coming down in the love camp on this one. This album is incredible, and certainly sits as the leader in the clubhouse on album of the year so far for me. A lot of times criticisms concerning a band trying to duplicate or [...]

Sometimes a band can take sounding retro too far and venture into straight replication of previously chartered ground. Unfortunately for Yeasayer , and their sophomore effort, Odd Blood , what they achieve sounds like an 80’s new-wave cover band attempting to write originals of their own. What results is a collection of stale and regurgitated sounding songs that don’t compel multiple plays. Gone is the edgy but airy, acoustic tinged, pop from All Hour Cymbals and in its place are a heavy dose of synth sounds, [...]
Band meeting: Yeasayer’s Anand Wilder, Ira Wolf Tuton and Chris Keating are hunched around a kitchen table to brainstorm song names. Double-entendres, commercial potential, stealing lines from poetry and revising “cheesy” lyrics are all discussed. “The Children. I mean that’s a stupid title,” says Wilder, reading the sheet in front of him. “It’s not catchy at all,” agrees Keating. Woodstock, April 2009: They’ve been jamming new material constantly, discussing possible comparisons, being their worst critics and best editors. It goes on in the living room, downstairs in the studio, even outside [...]
Awesome song off of Yeasayer's most recent album, Odd Blood . As we're all well aware, the band is mind-bendingly (should be a word) bizarre. "O.N.E." is hands down the most "radio-friendly" song I've heard from the group. Just got back from a little 5 hour drive down to the beautiful Lehigh Valley, and this jam must have had 75 plays. The album as a whole is a little too trippy for me, but "O.N.E." is definitely a flash of brilliance. Download: Yeasayer - O.N.E. [...]
Αυτό που έκαναν οι Yeasayer στον πρώτο τους δίσκο γίνεται περίπου από τα μισά αμερικάνικα indie συγκροτήματα αυτή τη στιγμή. Οι επιρροές από μουσικές του κόσμου, τα χειροποίητα τύμπανα και οι φωνές που μοιάζουν να χορεύουν έναν φυλετικό χορό φαίνεται να συγκινούν αρκετούς νεόκοπους καλλιτέχνες που κατά σύμπτωση εδρεύουν στην πολιτιστική πρωτεύουσα του κόσμου αυτή τη στιγμή(ή μπορεί και μερικές στιγμές πριν, δεν έχω ενημερωθεί τελευταία από τα αθηναϊκά free press για να ξεστραβωθώ) το Μπρούκλιν. Ορθώς λοιπόν έπιασαν το νόημα και αποφάσισαν μια δραματική αλλαγή στον ήχο τους. Μην φανταστείτε δραματική σαν το διαζύγιο της Μενεγάκη. Μάλλον δραματική [...]
Yeasayer performed “Ambling Alp” live on “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon” on 2/10.
I found The Morning Benders by sifting thru Pitchfork.tv's video series where he got local musicians and friends to perform his song Excuses , it came out great and it really had a memorable feel to it. One band I want to see live this year is Yeasayer , it shouldn't be hard since we both live in Brooklyn. If their shows are anything like their video for Ambling Alp then even Daft Punk might have a contender for best band characters. Lindstrom [...]

yeasayer - amblingalp (the very best remix) Yeasayer is a group that I recently started listening to their song "Ambling Alp" and sure enough I immediately see a Very Best remix soon afterward. In the Very Best's version, I have not a clue what he is saying but he makes it sound as good as the [...]
I would like to begin by saying this album gets progressively more difficult to review every time I return to it. It isn't a bad album. In fact, it's a very good album. In a daring shift from their strong analog aesthetics on All Hour Cymbals, Yeasayer has embraced an almost entirely synthetic sound on [...]
Experimental psychedelic rockers Yeasayer showcase their new album Odd Blood after-hours surrounded by 500 fans and several stuffed North American Mammals
The outstanding video for “Ambling Alp” is a surrealistic journey of a mirror-faced horse-rider through a desert with naked humans, suggesting a sci-fi scene set perhaps in 2080. But the music is also unmistakeably 1980s in its outlook – listen to the slabs of cold reverbs, long digital delays, synthesisers, and drum machines. The snare drum at the end of every alternate bar in “Ambling Alp” is pure Eighties. Like many visionaries, Yeasayer’s forte lies in stealing ideas and putting together never-imagined possibilities. Odd Blood fuses (believe it or not) Michael Jackson’s [...]

![[Video] – Yeasayer on Jimmy Fallon](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2369849_lg.jpg)
I'm a fan of Jimmy Fallon. I didn't have much hope for him when he first started hosting Late Night, but he's come into his own. His humour is dry and his "bits" are somewhat surreal, but he also has great taste in music and has some amazing bands and artists on his show. Last night was no exception when Yeasayer stopped by to perform "Ambling Alp", their first single from their just released second album "Odd Blood". I reviewed the album [...]
![[Review] [Listen] – Yeasayer – Odd Blood (2010)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2369850_lg.jpg)
With vocals dark and somewhat incomprehensible, reminiscent of those by The Knife on “We Share Our Mother’s Health”, drums methodic and cavernous, and the sound of someone rhythmically beating the crap out of a steel pipe in the background, Odd Blood’s opening song “The Children” is nothing like the rest of the album, an eclectic head-banger of an Indie-Dance album that's guaranteed to get you off your ass, waving your hands and kicking your feet. “Odd Blood” is Yeasayer’s (Chris Keating, Anand Wilder, and [...]

Just happened to come across this album by Yeasayer which just "dropped" today in music stores/ iTunes . Its going to be one of those bands that is getting alot of buzz these days. I will never see live in concert during my lifetime and skip Ottawa. Please bear with me since I don't know that much of this band. Did some research on them on Wikipedia . That Odd Blood is their second album. That the band is from Brooklyn, New York and that their music has been [...]
