Electronic Cavemen

For Yeasayer's second album, Odd Blood, the quartet takes its Byrds-meets-Animal Collective sound and gives it the (trending) electronic dance treatment a la Hot Chip. But don't let all this name dropping make you think this dreamy pop-dance experience is merely a derivative exercise. It's not. It's just that Yeasayer's sound is hard to pin down on its own.
At times the psychedelic rock vein flows strong, as in I Remember and Love Me Girl, and with others, like ONE and Rome, it's all about the bass pounding dance pop. Keating's vocals are the most visceral constant from 2007's All Hour Cymbals, and the group's searing, often darkly distorted harmonies will remind some listeners why this group was once dubbed caverock. It's a solid record that defies genrefication, and that's hopefully a sign of good things to come from this talented group.
