Visual Leakings

I would have to say that Yeasayer was completely off my radar until my friend played them for me while we hung out on his roof while watching jet planes fly over his house and drinking delicious Belgian beer.  Kind of cements things to a particular event.  Then seeing them in concert that night was a great experience; the music, the vibe of the room, the waitress bringing me drinks all night, woman dancing to impress…intoxicating.  Weird mix of pop, indie, weirdness and bad hair.  I liked their strangeness.  Now Hush Hush was a whole other experience.  A tall, gangly, pasty, bearded man with bad body odor singing to club beat music about having sex parties and bloody sex…awesome.  He almost stole the show.  The Smith Westerns, who played next were boring after seeing this guy.

‘Going down and it looks like a murder scene’

‘All the girls on the rag throw your hands in the air’

Yeasayer:

Obsession strikes again.  I want to see you in the morning.  Several very different songs, but good loud and irreverent.

Gotta be honestYou gotta be honest, you gotta be guarded, you sure aren’t gonna say.
Right on the inside, that is the hardest- the hardest game to play.
You sorted it all out and managed to slip through the night into the day.
Life and the soul. Do you ever get lonely? I’m gonna take you on.
