Yeasayer will you be my valentine? Seriously, I love your new album. Odd Blood is simply awesome. Reigning in some of the languid weirdness (which was great in its own right), Odd Blood is a great listen beginning to end that packs more energy and just as much depth as All Hour Cymbals. The synths, horns, organs are unleashed on my favorite tracks O.N.E., Mondegreen, and Rome that are jaunty as hell. Their pace is unstoppable, along with that of the flawless Ambling Alp. On Rome especially, with those Vaudeville organs, I just imagine a room full of those little organ grinder monkeys jumping around going crazy. Its awesome. The world music influences are still there on tracks like Strange Reunions and Yeasayer even find the time to work in animal sounds to perfect effect. Can they do no wrong? I mean probably, but they manage to be both pop and experimental at the same time. Yeasayer, even if you can't be my valentine this year, its ok, I will be there when you come to the Paradise in Boston in May. I already have tickets.
