Yeasayer: Odd Blood
*Yeasayer*’s 2007 debut turned heads with its thoughtful, Bollywood-inspired mix of post-rock weirdness and infectious pop hooks. Odd Blood, the band’s high-profile second album, builds on those hallmarks, starting off with a series of art-pop songs (more accessible than before the previous album) like hits-in-waiting “Ambling Alp” and “Madder Red.” A real post-indie orgasm, even in the face of inevitable Animal Collective comparisons. Odd Blood is the soundtrack for a dance-party after the world ends in 2012: dark and strange, yet inviting and ripe for the expanding tastes of modern rock radio. Chances are that the album is not what the title suggests, but is rather the musical equivalent of an O negative blood type: universally accepted
