Yeasayer's latest like abstract art
Amen & Goodbye's an "experimental pop" success
The 13 songs start to feel as though you’re stuck in a land that shouldn’t exist.
Pink Floyd, is that you? “Daughters of Cain” eases you in to Yeasayer’s latest, with influences from Dark Side of the Moon. The echoing vocal harmonies and atmospheric gentleness morph into the jangling gypsy spirit of “I Am Chemistry” that is so Yeasayer.

"I Am Chemistry"
...off of Yeasayer's latest, Amen & Goodbye
Amen & Goodbye marks the fourth full-length from the Brooklyn natives and the band’s quirkiness permeates the collection. Running deep throughout is computer-engineered soundscapes, accompanied by psychedelic live instrumentals and Chris Keating’s distinct voice. The songs contain an experimental texture similar to their previous album, Fragrant World, but it is also poppy, like Odd Blood — let’s call it “experimental pop,” if you need labels.
The jubilant bah bah bah’s on "Dead Sea Scrolls” clutter your thoughts, and the bounciness of “Silly Me” feels like one big chorus. Others, such as “Gerson’s Whistle” and “Divine Simulacrum” are narcotic seductions. Solidifying this mood is “Half Asleep,” as it paints a mirage on a deserted horizon — the 13 songs start to feel as though you’re stuck in a land that shouldn’t exist.
The mixture of sounds on Amen & Goodbye suggests Yeasayer utilized everything from its previous efforts. You’ll hear influences derived from every era and a worldly vibe. Its abstract subtleties will make you think twice and listen thrice, at the least.
