7. Yeasayer - Ambling Alp



Yeasayer truly have had a phenomenal year. From oddball indie outsiders to pop princes, its all thanks to this landmark single and one that repeated round and round my ears and ipod especially during the early part of last year. The thudding tribal drums, the absolutely arse kicking bass solo at the end (WHAT THE FUCK A BASS SOLO!!) what isn’t there to love about this track. The way the song is delivered, in an agony aunt sort of tone “stick up for yourself son/never mind what anybody else done” is refreshing and totally aimed to be sung at the top of your lungs whether in your car home or in a crowded room, the band that soundtracked many a summer have definitely made an in print in the last year and hopefully will do for many more years to come. The video is a bit strange mind...
