Album review: Yeasayer - 'Odd Blood' (Mute)
Not just 'going pop', the Brooklyn boys coagulate the world into hummable form
Following the charge led by Animal Collective and Grizzly Bear last year, the waiting room marked ‘Candidates for 2010 New Weird America Great Crossover Potential’ is already heaving. In there we have Beach House, [a]White Hinterland… and, ah, who’s that at the door? Yeasayer , Brooklyn band, neo hippies with a penchant for synthesizers and string vests. Previous? Released...

Yeasayer - Odd Blood: Wikipedia Album Entry
Odd Blood is the self-produced second studio album by american experimental rock band Yeasayer. Recorded in the state of New York during 2009, it was released on February 8, 2010 in Europe and a day later in North America, with Secretly Canadian as the primary label. Odd Blood received largely positive reviews from critics. Praise centered on its cohesive merging of genres, especially the pop-influenced rhythms.
Backed by a new good-sized independent label, Secretly Canadian, and a bigger recording budget, Yeasayer started work on a second studio album in February 2009. According to a Rolling Stone article, Odd Blood was inspired by a trip to New Zealand, where Yeasayer experimented with LSD.
On October 30, the band made a new track, Ambling Alp, available for free online streaming and confirmed the Odd Blood track list and release details for 2010.
Although the record was slated for release on 9 Feb 10, it was leaked to the Internet on 11 Dec 09.

Yeasayer - Odd Blood Lyrics
Yeasayer - The Children Lyrics
We are children and we'll give you trouble
If we don't like what you're doing and we think that it is wrong
Now we're satisfied but when we're not
We are taking lives and making drones
Yeasayer - Ambling Alp Lyrics
Now kid, I know I haven't been a perfect man
And I've avoided doing things I know I can
But if I've learned one thing the tattoo on my arm
Will burn into my thumb it would be that
Yeasayer - Madder Red Lyrics
Even when my luck is down
I take joy in knowing that our love grows
But if my vices are a burden
Please don't let me off, cast me from your home
Yeasayer - I Remember Lyrics
I remember making love on a Sunday
Like throwing hearts in a fresh cut grass in May, whoa
I remember making out on the airplane
Still afraid of flying but with you I'd die today, whoa
Yeasayer - O.N.E. Lyrics
One's not enough
I won't stop 'til I've given you up
Here, right as I am, it's hard having fun
It's much easier said than it's done
Yeasayer - Love Me Girl Lyrics
Nothing is wrong, what are you scared of?
Nothing is wrong, what are you scared of?
Nothing is wrong, what are you scared of?
Nothing is wrong, what are you scared of?
Yeasayer - Rome Lyrics
Yeah, yeah, yeah
When you see me
Better make a phone call
Yeasayer - Strange Reunions Lyrics
Don't ask me for any favors
And I won't ask how you're doing
Leave me alone now 'cause after all
I'm dealing with you is a nuisance
Yeasayer - Mondegreen Lyrics
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Tune in, tune in, tune in, tune in
Yeasayer - Grizelda Lyrics
I know, I know, I know every hour of the day
There's a whisper inside of her brain
Telling me who to kill, telling me who will live
