Announce New Single ‘Reagans Skeleton’ – 22 October

Longevity

The latest single to be taken from the acclaimed Fragrant World, is the darkly gothic yet very addictive ‘Reagan’s Skeleton’, due for release on 22 October. With the US presidential election taking place shortly after, it seems fitting to have a song dedicated to one of the country’s most loved and hated presidents. “A sure-fire dancefloor killer “ (Time Out), ‘Reagan’s Skeleton’ has already been championed by Zane Lowe and Nick Grimshaw on Radio 1 and John Kennedy on Xfm.

Yeasayer return to the Europe in September with a new light and stage production, created in collaboration with The Creator’s Project and previewed on the Jimmy Fallon show:

Researched and constructed over the last few months, Yeasayer’s new stage design is built of mirrored structures (some 9 feet tall) that serve to reflect and redirect light, receive projections, or glow from the seams like a living organism. The whole effect is alien looking and fitting right in with Yeasayer’s otherworldly sounds. A highly ambitious project, it continues to show Yeasayer’s dedication to elevate the fans’ live experience and expands their aesthetic to beyond just playing their songs live.

Fragrant World is testament to the unique identity Yeasayer have carved out for themselves in the music community. They have managed to grow and expand into what they are now without losing touch with what made them so compelling in the first place; their willingness to pull from every musical source imaginable. Couched in healthy fear, yet unafraid to move forward and expand, pulling in new influences just as frequently as new worries, Yeasayer have created a dense and beautiful record. It is as much a synthesis of the last three decades of pop music as it is a way of dealing with the oddities of life.
