Yeasayer's sophomore album "Odd Blood" is a strange mix of european dance and some of the best indie rock of the U.S. Sometimes sounding like Daft Punk, sometimes sounding like Vampire Weekend, and occasionally throwing in some Oingo Boingo, you can't help but love the retro vibe of this album. "Ambling Alp" is the first single from the record and delivers some wonderful hooks, and sublimely electronic riffs. Most of the album follows a very 80's dance pattern, but there are a couple of tracks, like "I remember" and "Madder Red" which take back the upbeat dance mood and are shockingly emotional ballads. "Mondegreen" is probably one of the best songs on the album and i dare you not to at least tap your foot while that song is on. Pick this album up, its definitely a fun listen. But the more you delve into it, the more the songs will reveal. They're layered and focused, and damn good!
