Yeasayer Odd Blood

4 stars out of 5 = "'The Children' opens with clattering beats, synth heaves and processed vocals that crossbreed T-Pain with the Residents....'Ambling Alp' is a hugely catchy anthem..."
"The biggest, boldest, and best moments on their second album nod flamboyantly to influences never before evident -- Erasure and Haircut 100, among others..."
"Yeasayer reinvent themselves as avant-popsters, toying with the sounds of Duran Duran, Yaz, and the Cure."
Ranked #39 in Uncut's "The 50 Best Albums Of 2010" -- "[T]he quartet streamlined their sound into catchy, psychedelic '80s pop."
Billboard (p.32) - "Between the folds of intricate sound on ODD BLOOD float Yeasayer members Anand Wilder's and Chris Keating's expressive vocal harmonies, giving this seemingly disparate, indefinable music a clear identity."
Paste (magazine) (p.62) - "[T]his version of Yeasayer has as much in common with New Order as it does Animal Collective, its many moving parts rebuilt upon a synth-pop engine."
Clash (Magazine) - "On ODD BLOOD, Yeasayer have reclaimed the late-'80s and early-'90s radio friendly staples in all their glorious, sparkling energy."
