“Yeasayer's Erotic Reruns is rich with addictive charm”
““They’re slipping through the holes again / Those fire ants they bite / And they don’t make love like we used to / We don’t read by candlelight,” frontman Anand Wilder laments on “Let Me Listen In On You,” the fifth track on Yeasayer’s new album, Erotic Reruns. It isn’t the record’s first reference to intimacy either, whether it’s waning, out of reach, or absent. “Blue Skies Dandelions,” “I’ll Kis”
“With their scattershot sonic collages, Brooklyn art-rock trio Yeasayer were one of the emblematic bands of unbridled ’00s indie experimentalism. But as “genre-defying” loses all meaning as a descriptor and Billie Eilish dominates the charts it seems that their mishmash of electronic sounds, “world music”, psychedelia, and roots might be not be such a unique combination after all. In this post-genr”
“A slight and unwaveringly safe 30 minutes, Yeasayer’s latest goes down easier than anything the band has ever done, while making less of an impression.”
