A buddy turned me onto this weird Electric Eels meets the Modern Lovers band. I bought the second 7" immediately. I gave it to Angie as had forgotten to buy her a birthday present, but managed to get hold of another copy a little later. I then spent about a year tracking down the first 7" after initially trying to join the band when their drummer quit (I emailed but they'd already found someone who lived in the same country).

With their headscarves and hand bells, communal chanting and four-part harmonies, Yeasayer have a lot in common with west coast burnouts like Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles, or ELO. But they also share similarities with fellow skinny-jeaned loft-lurking Brooklynites TV on The Radio, Grizzly Bear, and Dirty Projectors.
