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...

Now they’re starting to release videos to go along with the tracks on the album. Yeasayer’s “Tightrope” was a strong track on the comp [...]

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.

Over the past weekend, I saw Yeasayer play a show at a small concert hall here in Los Angeles. Yeasayer's considered part of the experimental rock scene emerging in Brooklyn. I captured a few live clips and interviewed lead singer Chris Keating, who has some interesting things to say about L.A. club owners' affinity for "pay-to-play." Check it out:

Back in February, 4AD released a compilation featuring some of the most respectable and credible indie acts called Dark Was The Night . The compilation's profit went to The Red Hot Organization in order to help raise awareness for AIDS. Since then, 4AD and Red Hot have released videos of Yeasayer, The National and The Dirty Projectors performing their DWTN songs. Each video was shot by the e...

Yeasayer, the group that gave us the fantastic record All Hour Cymbals and are a hell of a live band, have a new record coming out in February. The 9th to be exact on Secretly Canadian (I love that name) and it will be called Odd Blood. If you want to hear it, try and make it out to the Guggenheim in NYC on Oct. 30 because they will preview you at their show there. If you can’t, you’re like me
