Their new album, <span style="font-style:italic;">Odd Blood</span>, Will be released February 9th, 2010. The first single, Ambling Alp, is almost reminiscent of Passion Pit synth-pop. The other song I'm posting, Tightrope, was featured on the <span style="font-style:italic;">Dark Was the Night</span> compilation. Jordan says to download Sunrise because its funky fresh. Have fun with the music kids, don't get hurt dancing. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Download Yeasayer</span><br /><div><b><br /></b></div><div><a href="http://bit.ly/fpPfV">Ambling Alp</a></div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://bit.ly/8Ex5L">Tightrope</a></div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/2795606/01%20sunrise%201.mp3">Sunrise</a></div>Ben Briggshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14141656654938391339noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4612116206559975236.post-35221225950667661942009-11-04T18:42:00.000-08:002009-11-07T07:06:29.475-08:00Post 2: Food or Music?<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">Hello fellow followers!
