Brooklyn based poster-boys of psychedelic,
Yeasayer, released the first track from their 2010 sophomore album 'Odd Blood' online this week - Ambling Alp. They have said the aim of the new album is to, "make you feel inadequate, like you're not cool enough to be listening to [this] music". Whether they were joking or not, you do feel a sense of
privilege as you listen. It's the kind of feeling you get when you discover something new that none of your friends know about yet...
Ambling Alp is enjoyable, smooth, and delicious - like a cold beer on a hot day - the perfect addition to your summer playlist.
You can grab the track legitimately by signing up to the mailing list on their website. Awfully generous of them, isn't it!
