LSTN // Yeasayer Remix Tegan and Sara’s “Closer”

Good afternoon friends. Yeasayer bring you (via Stereogum) their new remix of Tegan and Sara’s “Closer.” From the very start you will recognize Yeasayer’s electric touch. The original is found on T&S’s Heartthrob. Listen below!

Listen // Yeasayer Perform Live on WXPN’s World Cafe, Interview Too

Listen up! Yeasayer stopped by Philadelphia’s WXPN for a live in-studio performance and interview with David Dye on World Cafe. The four-song set includes “Longevity, “Demon Road,” “Blue Paper” and an especially grooving take of “Henrietta.” All songs are from their August 2012 release, Fragrant World. Songs and interview available HERE.

“…the band’s latest album, Fragrant World, marks a departure: Density is no longer the name of the game. With its (relatively) spare arrangements, Fragrant World is less about stacking lots of pretty sounds on top of one another, and more about tightening the focus on the individual elements of each song.” – Dave Dye, World Cafe

WATCH: Yeasayer Live at The Alternate Side

Yeasayer stopped by WFUV’s The Alternate Side to perform four songs off their recently released Fragrant World. In addition to the songs, they chat with host Russ Borris about everything from Bruce Springsteen to Paul Ryan. The set includes “Blue Paper,” Longevity,” “Demon Road” and “Folk Hero Schtick.” Watch all four songs in our video playlist above. The interview and session, while now available at TAS, will also air on WNYE 91.5FM at 11:00 AM EDT on Friday, September 14.

Yeasayer play NYC’s Rumsey Field tonight with Tanlines and Daedelus and then they’re off to Europe! Dates HERE.
