Yeasayer

Overview

Brooklyn psych experimentalists and Laneway sophomores Yeasayer will play a headline show at the Metro Theatre when they head back this way next January.

The band spent summer here last year after the release of their last album Odd Blood, and now have a brand new 11-track offering crammed with sounds ranging from Italo-pop to warped electronica and R&B. That offering is called Fragrant World, and each track is a different unconventional yet accessible blend of wide-ranging influnces — "No Bones" is an excellent amalgam of astral spasms and glitchy synths that is still strangely danceable.

Yeasayer's live performances are equally captivating, whether you're blissing out under the midday sun or in the entrancing darkness of the Metro Theatre. If you won't be doing the former, get your license to do the latter here.
