Episode 47 - Feelin' It with Yeasayer

Thursday, February 21st, 2008 - running time 00:04:51

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. This is a band bent on sincerity, not shoegazing. Taking inspiration from gospel and uplifting music around the world and infusing it with locked groove krautrock jams, Yeasayer has managed something eclectic yet inclusive - a feat that separates them from the usual art-school riff raff.
