Five Sentence Review: New Yeasayer Track - Ambling Alp
Yeasayer: Ambling Alp
This band produced my a record that cracked my top five records from 2007, All Hour Cymbals, and is a must own for anyone who likes Indians in animal pelts, mustachioed hillbillies and gratuitous lumberjack outerwear.
This new song, Ambling Alp, really picks up where Cymbals leaves off, with interesting loops, fantastic drumming and bass lines and a unique, tenuous, hyperactive sound.
The new record by Yeasayer is pretty much at the top of my acquisition list for the next few weeks.
I saw this group live at the end of 2007 at Schuba's, a small Chicago club with room for about 100, on their tour with MGMT, and my love was cemented as they put on a loud and rollicking but extremely tight set.
Sadly, All Hour Cymbals, has yet to be released on vinyl, as I am sure that this record would benefit greatly from the warmth of sound that vinyl affords listeners.
