Yeasayer : Ambling Alp

Brooklyn based band Yeasayer treats us to a track with interesting textures and sounds layered on a very infectious melody. The track in itself shuffles through a few styles and in these modern times when a band is hard to pigeon hole in terms of what genre they fall under it tends to be a good thing. As Rob Mitchum a writer for pitchfork put it, “they have an A.C.-esque loopiness, but also a barely-articulated reggae bounce, a falsetto-and-funk-horns breakdown, and a digitally-jacked organ out of an Ed Banger track.”
