Damn.
You can’t win for losing.
Three songs into Yeasayer’s Odd Blood and I’ve loved every thing. The emotional wreck of “O.N.E.”, “Ambling Alp”, “Mad Redder” and I figure, if they can nail me dead with this weird, electronic pop, I might as well invest the rest of the bucks and get the album and guess what?
I outsmarter myself. The weirdness continues thru the rest of the album, all the DP angularity with none of the black influence, but the songs aren’t very catchy. “Griselda” has the signature Brooklyn copyrighted falsetoo harmonies but lacks any of the memorableness of “Ambling Alp”.
It’s not quite bad but without the three songs I already owned it’s not much.
Maybe it’ll grow on me but till then… go with the songs I’ve already mentioned.
