  • Critical Response

    1. "Yeasayer channel both a dystopian science-fiction sensibility and deep appreciation for the natural world, employing a wide, international range of sounds. The result is a unique form of indie rock world music that resists stepping into the essentialist, ethnocentric traps consistently tripped by high-minded hipsters. - Pitchfork
    2. "This four-piece take a number of left turns, referencing some rich musical areas and eras." - Dround In Sound
