Yeasayer (pronounced “yay-sayer” /’jeɪseɪ.ər/) is an experimental band based in Brooklyn, New York. Live performances sometimes include trippy, psychedelic visuals projected in the background.
The band members are Anand Wilder, Chris Keating, and Ira Wolf Tuton. They describe their music as “Middle Eastern-psych-snap-gospel”.
Yeasayer recently revealed in an interview with Pitchfork that they had finished their sophomore album and it would be released on February 9, 2010. On October 30th, 2009 Yeasayer revealed details for the first single release from “Odd Blood” entitled “Ambling Alp”. As of early December 2009 this album was leaked on the ‘net. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Yeasayer revealed that the album came out of a massive acid trip in New Zealand. Odd Blood is partially inspired by inventor Ray Kurzweil’s theory that computer intelligence will eventually supersede the human mind. Also, Peter Gabriel’s drummer Jerry Marotta helped record Odd Blood in an upstate New York studio packed with rare synths and percussion instruments from around the globe.
Yeasayer have big plans for their upcoming tour, including custom-built light columns and giant illuminated balloons.

I`m not much of a fan of Pitchfork, with their stingy and stupid point rating system.

Still not understanding why the pitchfork review has anything to do with this album. Everyone loves it now, but does it really matter what fucking rating pitchfork gives it? Success does not depend on pitchfork. Learn to love what you love because of the music, not the numbers on some website.

Pitchfork wasn't overly enchanted by their first effort, but i reckon they will give it close to a 9 which it fully deserves,

I'm pretty much in love with the new album. And brave does sound like a good word to describe it.

What an amazing, surprising, brave album, packed full of tunes and sunshine and insane influences. Hurting-era Tears for Fears meets The Bhundu Boys anyone? And no, I don't think that's a bad thing! It's totally made up for the crushing dreary disappointment that is the new Midlake album.
