Yeasayer are the new kings of the pop oddballs. MGMT have willingly thrown down their crown and stepped aside, leaving Yeasayer, the only worthy heirs to the kingdom in charge and it’s just as well. Their second album Odd Blood, definitely lives up to their new positions, this complimented by an excellent performance at Reading festival this year has seen them slowly rise to popularity, somewhere they should of been with their Vampire Weekend-esque first album All Hour Cymbals. Their second single ONE is one of the reasons that its clear to see how justified the critical acclaim is that has surrounded them. ONE is a wonderfully strange but extremely danceable song which forces you to move your feet to their nu-hippy beat. This is a song that, if given to the wrong pair of clammy hands could have been an unlistenable disaster but with Yeasayers unrivalled coolness, this has become somewhat of a quiet favourite in the realms of indie dance movement and the kings of kooky have found their feet at the most important moments in their career.
