Yeasayer, 'Fragrant World' – Album Review

Drake Baer — Mon, 20 Aug 2012 15:00:21 +0000

Beloved and be-blogged, Yeasayer were once a Brooklyn band to the fullest, typifying the fussy artisanal nature of the borough, arising somewhere near the same neighborhood as the electro brood of TV on the Radio and the organic hooks of Grizzly Bear -- oh, those tranquil days of 2008! At Yeasayer's techno-hippie best in their first two albums, they touched the extremities of avant pop, but ‘Fragrant World,’ their third and latest release, finds only the average.

We do not condone the use of illegal drugs. However, if you happen to partake in such activities, we do recommend watching the new triptastic music video for Yeasayer‘s ‘Henrietta.’ The clip starts off with what looks like a distorted disco ball engulfed in psychedelic waves.

Brooklyn’s Yeasayer became critical darlings with 2010′s ‘Odd Blood,’ but they haven’t released much since then — until yesterday’s inscrutable tweet, an enigmatic splash page, and, a new “dubbed-out pseudo-science-fiction” track. As Spin has the take, the track is named for Henrietta Lacks, a woman who, after her death, changed innumerable lives. Scientists used her immortal cell [...]
