I've been posting a lot more NSFW things this year. First it was Girls' video for 'Lust for Life' and The Flaming Lips' video for 'Watching the Planets', now the video hasn't even been released but the preview is very NSFW. Like the other videos it would be a surprise if it...Click the link to read more
Here's the first single off of Yeasayer's second album Odd Blood, out February 9th. Weird falsettos, 80's style drums, a catchy ass chorus, some horns, and a bunch of unidentifiable sounds = an awesome new pop gem from Yeasayer.Sidenote: At times this guy's voice sounds like that Gin Blossoms dude.

If you've noticed the date on this review, you may be thinking that discussing an album released in 2007 in 2009 is unnecessary, and generally I'd agree with you. Unfortunately, I missed out on Yeasayer the year they released their stunning debut, All Hour Cymbals, only catching up with them recently after hearing their fantastic new song on the Dark Was the Night compilation (go check it out, ...
--- - |- Photo by Jon Behm Given the amazing year they've had since the release of their breakthrough LP All Hour Cymbals, it's hard to believe that Yeasayer have not yet had the pleasure of headlining their very own tour. That'll change this fall, when the band embarks on a North American jaunt that will, in some ways, see them bidding a fond farewell to the album that helped secure them a ...
Pics: I skilfully capture the lead-singer playing keyboards and then clearing his throat. I went with my mate Richie to see Yeasayer play in Whelan’s, Dublin last night. It was good fun...(Before the gig)Me: There was a bloke in the toilets leaning forward with his head against the wall, having a piss. When he finished, he went straight to the hand dryer.

Last night we saw the Brooklyn based band Yeasayer playing at London's ICA. A sold out night in this cozy venue still meant being able to get up close to the band.

No Need to WorryOver the past few years, a few of the most talked-about indie bands have been those making music with an ahistorical sense of mythic drama. TV on the Radio, Celebration, Grizzly Bear, and Animal Collective, among others, have been variously and inventively appropriating rock'n'roll's roots in ritualistic sounds, working toward individual aesthetics that merge mutual appreciatio...
