Amoeba Review
Fragrant World is most accessible album yet from Brooklyn psych-pop quintet Yeasayer. Perhaps inspired by years of stadium shows and touring, the band dials back the new age vibes of their debut, All Hour Cymbals, and the vibrant experimentalism of Odd Blood. In their place is a hookier, more pop-embracing version of Yeasayer, one who isn’t above crafting ace electro-funk (“Devil and the Deed”) and and lush synth-pop (“Fingers Never Bleed”). Of course, plenty of weirdness still abounds, as on the squelching, clanging electronics and warped vocals of “No Bones,” but all seems to be in the aim of creating a memorable groove. If toe-tapping and head-nodding are any indication, they’ve achieved that. Bonus points for making an eerie party jam out of a song called “Reagan’s Skeleton!” Read More
