Yeasayer: ‘Longevity’ Video

  Yeasayer have released a new video for ‘Longevity’ which feels all too normal until you realise what’s happening to singer Chris Keating. Taking after the song’s lyrics things start to go creepily awry for Keating, and eventually the entire band, as they perform the song with “more energy”. var addthis_config = {"data_track_clickback":true,"data_track_addressbar":false,"data_track_textcopy":false,"ui_atversion":"300"}; var... Read More

Review: Fragrant World//Yeasayer

Reviewing records of bands such as Yeasayer is often a losing battle if you’re trying to appease everyone’s opinion and save someone the hassle of actually listening to said record themselves. This is something attributable to the subversion that Yeasayer’s music undergoes during the writing process, making any lines of reference or distinction near impossible to generalise about. All the better for it I say. Fragrant World, as the title might... Read More

Trust: Feist ‘Graveyard’ Remix download and Yeasayer support

Like much of both Feist and Trust’s respective music, it feels like there’s... Read More

Yeasayer: Album Scavenger Hunt and UK tour dates

  Yesterday Yeasayer released information on an internet wide scavenger hunt to find the youtube vignettes that accompany the eleven tracks on new album Fragrant World.

The endeavour Yeasayer have undertaken in this hunt is called PSCYVOTV (PREEMPTIVE SELF-COMMISSIONED YEASAYER VORSTELLUNG) and displays the... Read More

Yeasayer: ‘Henrietta’ stream

Yeasayer, the minds behind TLS favourites like ‘Mondegreen’ and ‘Sunrise’, have released the first flush of new music since their Record Store Day contribution last year. Said new music comes in the form of ‘Henrietta’, a song that changes gear several times across its 4 minute duration in true Yeasayer style. The group have some US dates on the horizon, fingers double crossed for some UK dates later this year! June 19... Read More

Fanfarlo: Yeasayer Remix ‘Shiny Things’

In terms of the music they make, Fanfarlo and Yeasayer couldn’t be further apart. That said, the idea of Yeasayer remixing Fanfarlo seems like the best of ideas simply because, whatever the odd outcome would sound like, it would be entirely unexpected and therefore great. Whilst ‘Shiny Things’ does come as a slight departure from the sound of Fanfarlo’s first album, Yeasayer’s reworking sees the track’s tempo and... Read More
