Yeasayer is a band bent on sincerity, not shoegazing, and have managed something eclectic yet inclusive - a feat that separates them from the usual art-school riff raff.

While Brooklyn's Yeasayer gives props to Pavement and Stephen Malkmus, they have no intention of carrying on the apathetic, disaffected tradition of indie rock.
