Brooklyns Yeasayer released their arty, psychedelic debut All Hours Cymbals to rave reviews in 2007, but it was their sophomore record, Februarys Odd Blood, that rocketed them to the huge wave of popularity theyre currently riding. Odd Blood is Yeasayers stab at making a pop record songs like O.N.E. have high-gloss sounds and immediately catchy choruses but with its mesh of Middle Eastern, 80s, disco, and African influences, its far more experimental than Top 40. Weird and expensive-looking music videos for Ambling Alp and O.N.E. have gone viral, completing Odd Bloods sleek pop package. Its all proved to be a winning formula, too Seattles been in a frenzy lately trying to find last minute tickets to this beyond sold out show. With Sleigh Bells. ERIN K. THOMPSON
