I’m recommending this show solely so I can justify spending more time looking at the above picture. Not actually, but Ira and Anand with long hair coming out of the mist is a pretty phenomenal image. Anyways, this first of two NY Yeasayer shows has been sold out for ages, but if you can manage to obtain tickets definitely go to one of the shows. Odd Blood is candy for the ears. Perhaps not as soulfully satisfying as All Hour Cymbals, but a fun masterpiece just weird enough to keep it interesting with enough hooks to capture the hearts of a broader audience. The band is wonderful live, especially with their new added percussionist. It’s worth going just to see Chris Keating’s weird, spastic hand gestures. Another track from the new album below.
