So I’ve been listening to the new single from Yeasayer nonstop for about a week now (I just sort of forgot to write it up), and was generally ignoring the buzz surrounding them prior. Well I was foolish, because this track is fantastic, and I can’t wait for the rest of the album to be released. There is also a very lame remix of this floating around by Memory Tapes, which makes me so sad, because I love nearly everything else he does. The original just didn’t need that much improvement. Inspirational, undeniably catchy and featuring some Ethio (inspired?) samples (my people!), this song is all over the place, but miraculously manages to seem put together at the same time. One of the loveliest things to happen this fall for sure.
