XLR8R TV Episode 47: Yeasayer

While Brooklyn's Yeasayer gives props to Pavement and Stephen Malkmus, the four members 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, then infusing it with groove krautrock jams, Yeasayer has managed something eclectic yet inclusive--a feat that separates it from the usual art-school riff raff.

Awesome interview, but whoever did the end credits should be fired. What the hell is "All Night Cymbals"? Also, these people can join iTunes on the list of feckless inebriates who can't get "Waves" and "Worms" straight.

[XLR8RTV]

After reading your comment, we took the feckless inebriate who did the end credits out behind our offices and eviscerated them.

[kloten]

Jesus. You eviscerated him.

[XLR8RTV]

Her actually.
