Yeasayer and Sleigh Bells at Majestic Theatre
Yeasayer doesn't just boast a unique sound—an all-over combination of Eastern music and psychedelic rock, tribal chants and soaring harmonies—it proposes an entirely new syntax, as if the Brooklyn band discovered a previously unknown musical language. The recently released Odd Blood expands that language beyond the multicultural pastiche of 2007's All Hour Cymbals to include snatches of global trip-hop and electro, while at the same time dialing back the sometimes off-putting yelps and squeals.
