Everybody hates Mondays....... but at least you have Music Monday to look forward too! Hopefully we can provide you with a new band or song to help you get through the drudgery that Mondays provide. I guess one way to look at it is that the weekend is getting closer! So lets kick off this hopefully strange week with Music Monday
This week we are going to spotlight Yeasayer!
So do you guys like "Middle Eastern-psych-snap-gospel"??
Yea I would prob have said what the shit are you talking about too but this is exactly how Yeasayer band members Chris Keating, Ira Wolf Tuton, and Anand Wilder describe their sounds.
I think their sound is pretty epic and can be compared to Passion Pit or Miike Snow with a little more funk in their rhythms. Yeasayer first came together in 2007 a year that can be remebered for Bob Barker airing his last episode of Price is Right, man is a legend. Yeasayer hit the ground running with their first single, a double sided a track of Sunrise and 2080 , which are two my favorite songs that come from Yeasayer. More of their notable tracks from this amazing band is Ambling Alp and O.N.E., which has a more electronic dance feel and has become a favorite to be remixed. Their popularity has skyrocket over the past couple years and has actually awarded them the title of Most Blogged about Band in 2010 (The Hype Machine). So here is to spreading the word in 2011!
All in all this band is epic and just has a very fun feel through the eclectic use of noise makers to create their complex and happy beats. I cant wait to hear more from this band and hopefully get to see them when they swing through the states.
Here is a link to their Myspace page for any more info you want: Yeasayer
Hope your Monday has gotten a better and you can Stay Strange all week with the sounds of Yeasayer.
Until the Future...... Stay Strange
Wombat Wednesday will be here soon enough
