Yeasayer Return with Second Album, Odd Blood, Due February

Uncategorizable New Yorker hipsters Yeasayer have announced details of the forthcoming second album. Entitled Odd Blood, it will be released February 9 on the band's new home at Secretly Canadian.

The follow-up to All Hour Cymbals, their stirring debut that proved one of the best records of 2007, Odd Blood was recorded by the band in the middle of a snowy winter in upstate New York.

The LP will be preceded by a single, "Ambling Alp," a chaotic tumble of keyboard zaps and clattering rhythms that features a particularly soulful vocal from Chris Keating. It sounds like a worthy successor to "Tightrope," the killer cut they contributed to the monstrous Dark Was the Night compile early in '09. Listen below!
