New Yeasayer - Ambling Alp
I've really enjoyed Yeasayer since I discovered their first album All Hours Cymbals. I've mentioned singer Chris Keating before on this blog. He is quickly becoming one of my favorite vocalists - especially after Yeasayer's newest single Ambling Alp. You can download the track for free from Yeasayer's Website. The song that really did it for me is Tightrope, on the excellent Dark Was the Night compilation. It allowed me to access the soulfulness that pervades all of their music. I was at first listen attracted the glistening beets and chanting, but it goes much farther than that. Ambling Alp has the unmistakably Yeasayer sound, full of driving jungle/industrial beat, layered under Keating's warbling calls. The chorus, though sentimental and poppy is heartfelt and genuine. Throw in a crazy bridge or two and BAM you've got something great. Hands down, I loves me some Yeasayer.
Grade: 3.6 of 4.0
