Like aloof prospectors looking for a creative source but unaware of the enormity of the well flowing beneath their feet, Yeasayer spent years toiling before finally finding brilliance on their second album, Odd Blood. Exploding from the underground experimental scene like an acid-heavy oil geyser, Oil Blood soaks the members of Yeasayer and everyone who hears it in psychedelic, musical gold.
With this latest release, Yeasayer punctures the pipes of their true talent, releasing a mixture of 80s synth styles, unique vocals, and a splatter of unrecognizable noises culminating in an unbelievably harmonious mess. From the initial upsurge in “Ambling Alp” to saturated, slow tracks like “I Remember”, Yeasayer lights up an indie inferno.
Please do not miss an opportunity to be drenched by a truly innovative band at the moment of their artistic detonation this Monday, May 3rd at Paradise.
