Band of the Moment: Yeasayer

It can't be too hard to make a catchy, synthpop gem, but Brooklyn jammers Yeasayer, and their new album "Odd Blood" make it look like a god damn science experiment.

Much like Animal Collective, noise wise, and Dirty Projectors experimental and harmony wise, Yeasayer deliver euphoric dance-hall supplements one after another without a break of sweat. It all goes down smoother than water. The album is so beautifully catchy and danceable, you'd think they were the second coming of Bowie.

Their thriving tour and numerous spots at festivals this Summer (Glastonbury, Lollapalooza) solidify the fact that they aren't gonna go down without swinging. And, God, I hope they do not turn into Passion Pit. So I beg you, Yeasayer, please do not make a commercial with any of the Palm phones. I beg you.
