Yeasayer
New music on the street! Joseph recommended their new album Odd Blood to me on Monday, and I just bought it that night off Amazon for $4. I had never heard of Yeasayer before, but I had a lot of fun exploring this album. It’s kinda like you if you took Animal Collective, mixed in the pop of Passion Pit, then added a dash of — dare I say it? — Radiohead (see the song ‘Strange Reunions’ for the last reference. The first track is one of the most bizarre opening tracks I’ve ever heard, but thankfully it doesn’t set the tone for the rest of the album.
Here’s a track called Love Me Girl.

Other standouts for me include I Remember, Rome (for a funky swing feel), and Madder Red.
